Print Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup mashed or pureed very ripe bananas about 2 medium
  • 1 5.3- oz. container of vanilla Greek yogurt
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup coarsely chopped walnuts can substitute pecans or completely omit the nuts

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oven to 350-degrees.
  • Spray the bottom only of a loaf pan (8x4 or 9x5) with non-stick cooking spray (or cover with shortening).
  • If desired, use a food processor to chop the nuts and puree the bananas.
  • Add all the prepared ingredients except the nuts to your mixing bowl.
  • Mix on low speed for 30 seconds then on medium speed for 45 seconds. Scrape the bowl as needed.
  • Stir in the nuts by hand or with the "stir" setting on your mixer.
  • Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 45 to 55 minutes until the outside is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the middle of the loaf comes out clean.
  • Cool 10 minutes then loosen the sides of the bread and transfer to a cooling rack (or cutting board if you want to serve it soon!).
