Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mash bananas until smooth. Add melted butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla, and yogurt. Mix well.
  3. Sift in flour, baking soda, and salt. Fold gently until just combined.
  4. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. Optional: top with sliced banana.
  5. Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use extra ripe bananas for the best flavor.
  • Tent with foil halfway through if browning too quickly.
  • Let cool completely before slicing for clean cuts.
