perfect banana bread

This truly is the PERFECT banana bread. With an easy one-bowl and no-mixer recipe, it's super-moist and so flavorful! The beautiful, sweet, mahogany-hued crust is crisp and the crumb incredibly tender.

Perfect Banana Bread

bananas (about 2 cups)

plain Greek yogurt

sugar

brown sugar

eggs

vanilla extract

cinnamon ((optional))

salt

baking soda

all-purpose flour

Preheat oven to 350˚F with a rack in the center of the oven. Spray a 5x8 loaf pan (or 3x6-inch pans) generously with baking spray. Set aside.

Peel bananas and place them in a medium-large mixing bowl. Using a potato masher, mash bananas until fairly smooth.

Add both sugars and the oil and whisk well to combine. Whisk in the eggs until well combined followed by the yogurt and vanilla.

Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the top and stir until combined. Add the flour and stir just until all flour is incorporated.

Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and place on a sheet pan. Bake for 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean and without batter. You can also use an instant thermometer to determine if the bread is done. The temperature of the finished bread should be 200-205˚F.

If using the smaller pans (3x5 or 3x6) bake for 25-35 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (or internal temperature is 200-205˚F).

This is THE BEST banana bread recipe - easy to make, moist, perfect banana bread that is crisp on the outside and loaded with flavor. One bowl, no mixer required! Next time, try out my triple chocolate banana bread, cranberry pumpkin banana bread, paleo banana berry breakfast cookies.

The Perfect Banana Bread

banana (about 3 medium bananas)

eggs (room temperature)

buttermilk

unsalted butter (canola oil, or greek yogurt)

brown sugar (packed)

all purpose flour

cinnamon (optional)

Preheat oven to 325°F and spray a 9x5 loaf pan with non-stick spray. Set aside.

In a large bowl, mash banana to remove as many of the lumps as possible. If desired, run through a food processor or blender for a couple seconds.

Add eggs, buttermilk, butter or oil, vanilla and whisk until well combined.

Add brown sugar and whisk again until well combined.

Add flour, baking soda and salt and whisk until just combined.

Pour batter into prepared pan and bake on rack in the lower third of the oven for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.

Leaving loaf in the pan, place on wire rack to cool for 15-20 minutes. Invert and carefully remove loaf and place back on wire rack to cool completely.

Slice into 8 pieces and enjoy!
