Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 very ripe medium bananas, mashed
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup melted coconut oil or vegetable oil
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until mostly smooth.
  3. Add the Greek yogurt, brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk until combined.
  4. Pour in the melted oil and mix until just incorporated.
  5. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few streaks of flour are acceptable.
  7. If using, gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
  9. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs attached.
  10. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Using very ripe, spotty bananas provides the best natural sweetness and moisture for this loaf.
  • For a lower-fat option, you can use non-fat Greek yogurt, but the texture may be slightly less rich.
  • This bread freezes well. Wrap the cooled loaf tightly in plastic wrap and then foil for up to three months.
