- 0.75 cup light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
Step 3
Add the melted butter to the bananas and stir until well combined.
Step 4
Mix in the brown sugar, vanilla extract, and eggs. Beat the mixture until combined.
Step 5
Stir in the Greek yogurt until the batter is smooth.
Step 6
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
Step 7
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet banana mixture. Stir until just incorporated, being careful not to over-mix.
Step 8
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Step 10
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
