Ingredients for the Banana Bread:
- 3 to 4 ripe bananas
- 240 g of all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- ½ teaspoon of salt
- 150 g of sugar (mix of brown and whole sugar for depth)
- 2 eggs
- 6 tablespoons butter (melted)
- 80 g of Greek yogurt
- Optional toppings: sliced banana, chocolate sauce, or Nutella
Instructions
1. Preheat and Prepare:
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a loaf pan with butter, sprinkle it with flour, and tap out the excess.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. Mash the Bananas :
In a separate bowl, mash the bananas with a fork. The texture should be slightly lumpy.
4. Combine Wet Ingredients:
Add the melted butter, sugar, eggs, Greek yogurt, to the mashed bananas. Mix until smooth and creamy.
5. Incorporate the Dry Ingredients:
Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients. Be careful not to overmix—stop when just combined.
6. Prepare to Bake:
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. For an extra touch, place a banana sliced lengthwise on top of the batter.
7. Bake:
Bake for 45–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the bread to cool for 10 minutes in the pan before transferring it to a wire rack.
Serving Suggestion:
Slice a piece of banana bread, drizzle melted chocolate or Nutella over the top, and garnish with fresh banana slices.
