Description

A delightful twist on classic banana bread featuring wholesome ingredients and a crunchy cinnamon streusel topping.


Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. Combine the whole wheat flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Blend the mashed bananas, Greek yogurt, eggs, and vegetable oil in another bowl until fully combined.
  4. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, taking care not to overmix.
  5. Pour your batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
  6. Mix together 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of flour, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon for the cinnamon streusel topping and sprinkle over the batter.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack for complete cooling.

Notes

Greek Yogurt can be substituted with unsweetened applesauce for a dairy-free version. Whole Wheat Flour may be replaced with all-purpose flour if needed.
