Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 3 ripe bananas mashed
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt plain or vanilla
  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chopped nuts optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs, then mix in mashed bananas, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and brown sugar until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined.
  5. Fold in chocolate chips or nuts if using.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor and sweetness. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread soft and moist.
