Ingredients

• 5 medium Ripe bananas
• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 2 Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.33 cup Plain Greek yogurt or sour cream

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan generously with butter or non-stick cooking spray, and set it aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash 4 of the ripe bananas using a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth. Reserve 1 banana for topping.

Step 3

Melt the butter in the microwave or in a small saucepan, then pour it into the bowl with the mashed bananas and mix well.

Step 4

Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to the banana mixture, and whisk until fully combined and smooth.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Fold the Greek yogurt (or sour cream) into the batter until incorporated, ensuring the mixture remains light and airy.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly with a spatula. Slice the reserved banana lengthwise and place it on top of the batter for decoration.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

Step 9

Remove the banana bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 10

Slice, serve, and enjoy the rich, banana-packed flavors of this indulgent bread. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
