Healthy Banana Bread without Brown Sugar

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Ensure there are no large chunks, as this will help in creating a uniform batter.

Step 3

Add in the eggs, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk until the mixture is well combined and smooth.

Step 4

In another bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix, as this can make the bread dense.

Step 6

If desired, fold in the chopped nuts for an added crunch before pouring the batter into the prepared loaf pan.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Once baked, remove the banana bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
