Step-by-Step Instructions for Greek Yogurt Banana Bread
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Mash together 2 to 3 ripe bananas until smooth and mix in 1 cup of Greek yogurt, 2 large eggs, ¾ cup of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, ½ teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon (if using).
  4. Pour the dry mixture into the wet ingredients and stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan and fold in any optional add-ins if desired.
  6. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Cool the loaf in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
