Healthy Banana Bread is soft, fluffy and moist. It is golden on the outside and packed full of sweet banana flavor on the inside.

Ingredients

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup mashed bananas
2 large eggs
⅓ cup Greek yogurt plain, 0% no sugar added
¼ cup maple syrup
¼ cup milk
2 teaspoons vanilla

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a 9x5 loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray. I like to use an olive oil cooking spray.
In a medium size bowl, add flour, baking soda and baking powder. Whisk to combine.
In a large bowl, add mashed bananas, eggs, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, milk and vanilla. Whisk to combine.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients.
Using a spatula, fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients. Fold until the flour mixture is incorporated and there are no lumps in the batter.
Pour batter into prepared baking pan.
Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the bread comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Cut into 12 slices.

Notes

Make sure to use overripe bananas for this recipe!

Make sure to grease the loaf pan before pouring in the batter. The bread will stick if you do not grease the pan.

Do not overbake the banana bread. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If you overbake the bread, it will be dry. I recommend checking the bread at 50 minutes.

Healthy Banana Bread can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container or bag for up to three days.

Healthy Banana Bread freezes well. Wrap bread slices in plastic wrap before placing in a freezer safe container or bag. Freeze up to three months. Thaw bread slices at room temperature when ready to eat.
