Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon of nutmeg, and ½ teaspoon of salt. Whisk until evenly blended.
- In a separate bowl, beat together ½ cup of softened unsalted butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar with an electric mixer for 3-5 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Add 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Mash 2-3 very ripe bananas until smooth, then fold them into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Gently stir in ½ cup of Greek yogurt to the banana mixture until incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with another ½ cup of Greek yogurt, mixing gently after each addition.
- If using nuts, gently fold in ½ cup of chopped walnuts or pecans into the batter.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan thoroughly.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes.
- Once baked, remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes.
- After cooling, gently transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely.
