What You Need:
2 c whole wheat pastry flour
¼ c (2oz) unsalted butter, room temp
¼ c (2oz) plain Greek yogurt (I used 2%)
1/3 c (about 3 oz) honey
4 very ripe bananas mashed (about 2 c)
2 eggs
1 tsp baking soda
¼ tsp kosher salt
½ - 1 tsp cinnamon (to taste – I used 1)
1-2 tsp vanilla extract (to taste – I used 2)
1 c walnuts, chopped (optional)
What To Do:
Preheat oven to 350° and spray the inside of a 10”
loaf pan.
Combine all dry ingredients in a medium bowl and mix
well. Set aside.
Cream butter, yogurt and honey together. Once combined, add eggs and mashed
banana. Stir until just combined.
Adding ½ of the dry ingredients stir until just mixed and
then add remaining, making sure the scrape the sides. Stir until just incorporated.
Fold in nuts is using.
Pour batter into loaf pan and bake for 50-55 minutes or
until a toothpick comes out clean and the top has browned. I like to under bake slightly as it cooks
just a bit more as it cools in the hot pan and we like the top/ middle to be
ever so slightly under done.
Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then remove and cool
completely on a wire rack before wrapping in a double layer of foil.
Makes 1 loaf – 16 slices
