Easy Greek Yogurt Banana Bread
This easy and delicious recipe for Greek yogurt banana bread is the best way to use up overripe bananas. It's moist, flavorful, and makes the perfect treat for any time of day!
Ingredients
- 3 brown bananas
- 1 egg
- ½ cup Greek yogurt (full fat or low-fat)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoon of unsweetened applesauce
- ¼ cup maple syrup (or honey)
- ⅓ cup ground flax seeds
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips (or up to ¾ cup)
- ¼ cup walnuts roughly chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Mash the bananas in a large mixing bowl with a fork.
- Add the egg, cottage cheese, vanilla extract, applesauce, maple syrup, flax seeds and brown sugar. Mix together until combined.
- Add the baking soda, cinnamon, salt, flour, flax seeds, chocolate chips and walnuts. Gently mix until a batter forms.
- Pour the batter into a loaf pan lined with parchment paper or spayed with non-stick spray.
- Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 50 minutes. Insert a toothpick in the center and pull it back out. It should come out without any batter sticking to it. (It's okay if there is melted chocolate on it)
- Place the loaf banana bread on a cooling rack and allow it to cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing into it.
Notes
- You can use cottage cheese in place of Greek yogurt.
- Using parchment paper will keep this recipe oil-free.
- If you don’t care about oil you can use a non-stick spray on the loaf pan.
