Ingredients

• 3 large ripe bananas
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 0.5 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.

Step 3

Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and Greek yogurt to the mashed bananas. Whisk together until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the bread tender.

Step 6

If using, fold in the chopped walnuts gently with a spatula.

Step 7

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 55–60 minutes, or until a toothpick or skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the loaf pan from the oven and let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes.

Step 10

Carefully transfer the banana bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
