This healthier Greek Yogurt Banana Bread is made without butter or oil, but so soft and tender that you’d never be able to tell! Naturally sweetened and loaded with banana flavour, it makes a great healthier alternative to a traditional favourite!
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups (180 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 medium, ripe bananas (200 g or 1 cup mashed)
- 1/2 cup (115 g) plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) maple syrup
- 1/4 cup (50 g) brown sugar*
- Optional add-ins: 1/2 cup chocolate chips/raisins/nuts/etc.
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350ºF (176ºC), and lightly grease a 9 x 5 (23cm x 13cm) bread pan.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir until well combined and set aside.
- Lightly beat the eggs in a medium sized mixing bowl. Add mashed bananas, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and brown sugar. Stir until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently. Do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the loaf pan, spreading it out evenly, and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and let cool for about 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
* depending on how sweet you want your bread to be, you can easily leave out the brown sugar and just use maple syrup, especially if you add chocolate chips
