Servings: 12
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup whole wheat or whole wheat pastry flour
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup organic cane sugar or coconut sugar
- ¼ cup butter softened or melted coconut oil
- 2 large eggs
- 3 ripe bananas mashed (1 ½ cups)
- ⅓ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
Preheat oven to 350°F and line a loaf pan with parchment paper or coat with nonstick spray.
Combine the flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl.
Place sugar and butter in a large bowl, and beat with a mixer at medium speed until well blended (about 1 minute).
Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition.
Add banana, yogurt, and vanilla; beat until blended.
Add flour mixture to the wet mixture and beat at low speed just until moist.
Spoon batter into prepared loaf pan.
Bake at 350°F for 1 hour or until a tooth pick or butter knife inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in pan on a wire rack; remove from pan. Cool completely on wire rack.
- Low-sugar: If you'd prefer a lower sugar banana bread feel free to reduce the amount of sugar to 1/2 cup. I've tested this bread with both 1 cup sugar and 1/2 cup sugar and both turned out great.
- Dairy-free: To make this banana bread dairy-free use melted coconut oil or vegan butter and swap the Greek yogurt with a dairy-free yogurt.
