Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mashed ripe banana

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan. In a large bowl, mash the banana, then whisk in the brown sugar, oil, eggs, yogurt, and vanilla until smooth.
  2. Sprinkle the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon over the wet mixture. Stir with a spatula until just combined and no dry streaks remain.
  3. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan, spread it even, and sprinkle with coarse sugar if you like.
  4. Bake for 55-65 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Tent with foil if the top browns too quickly.
  5. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a rack to cool completely. Slice with a serrated knife and serve.

Notes

If your banana mash is more than 1 cup, the bread will be extra moist and may need a few extra minutes in the oven. The loaf slices cleanest after it has rested for a few hours or overnight, but a warm slice right out of the pan is just fine too.
