A delightful twist on the classic banana bread recipe, offering a moist and flavorful treat perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
Greasing the pan ensures the loaf doesn't stick, making it easier to remove after baking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, Greek yogurt, and melted butter until smooth.
Using room temperature ingredients helps them blend together more easily.
Add the eggs, mashed bananas, milk, and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix well.
Mash the bananas thoroughly to ensure a smooth batter.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
Sifting the dry ingredients can help prevent lumps in the batter.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the loaf tender.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Tap the pan gently on the counter to remove air bubbles.
Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Check the loaf at the 60-minute mark to avoid overbaking.
Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cooling on a wire rack prevents the bottom from becoming soggy.
Slice and serve your banana loaf. Enjoy!
Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of honey for extra indulgence.
