Ingredients

4 ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 1/4 cup mashed)

1/2 cup plain whole milk Greek yogurt

1/4 cup salted butter or coconut oil, melted

1/4 cup maple syrup or honey

2 eggs, at room temperature

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour (or all-purpose flour)

1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chunks

Cinnamon Butter:

1 stick salted butter, at room temperature

1/4 cup pure maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×5 inch bread pan.
  2. In a bowl, stir together the mashed bananas, yogurt, melted butter or coconut oil, maple syrup or honey, eggs, and vanilla until combined.
  3. Add the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Mix until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chunks or chips.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until the center is set. Let cool for 15 minutes before slicing or serve warm with cinnamon butter.
  5. To make the cinnamon butter, beat together the butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until smooth. Serve with warm banana bread.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas—almost black—for the best flavor and moisture.
  • Whole wheat flour adds nutrition, but all-purpose or gluten-free flour can be substituted.
  • The cinnamon butter is optional but highly recommended for extra flavor.
  • This recipe yields about 8 slices.
