Healthy Yogurt Banana Bread

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Make sure to remove any large chunks for a uniform texture in your bread.

Add the Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and eggs to the mashed bananas. Whisk together until fully combined.

In a separate bowl, mix the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir to combine.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet banana mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

If desired, fold in the chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top is browning too quickly, cover it with foil.

Once done, remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
