Ingredients

2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 large bananas mashed
1/4 cup butter dairy free or standard, softened
2/3 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup Yogurt Greek, plain, or non-dairy
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Line a 9 x 4-inch loaf pan with parchment paper and set aside.
In a small bowl, add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the bananas, softened butter, maple syrup, yogurt, eggs, and vanilla extract. Gently stir through the dry ingredients until just combined.
Transfer the batter into the lined loaf pan. Bake the banana bread for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Remove the banana bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan completely. Once cooled, slice and serve.

Notes

TO STORE: Greek yogurt banana bread can be stored at room temperature, covered in an airtight container, for up to 3 days. If you’d like to keep it longer, store it in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

TO FREEZE: Place the leftover bread slices in a ziplock bag and store them in the freezer for up to 6 months. Let the bread thaw overnight in the fridge.

Recipe variations

Make banana muffins. To make muffins instead of bread, simply pour the batter into a muffin tin lined with muffin liners and bake them for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean (or just make my Greek yogurt banana muffins).
Make it sweeter. This banana bread relies on maple syrup and bananas for sweetness, so it isn’t as sweet as other types of banana bread. For extra sweetness, you can add 1/4 cup of brown sugar to the batter.
Make vegan banana bread. Replace the eggs with flax eggs and use a dairy-free probiotic yogurt.
Cut the fat. For an even lower-fat recipe, swap the butter with unsweetened applesauce.
Add mix-ins. Swap the walnuts for chocolate chips, pecans, dried fruit, toasted coconut, or cinnamon.
