Add a protein punch (plus extra moisture!) to everyone’s favorite quickbread with a top-rated recipe for Greek Yogurt Banana Bread.
I’ve shared dozens of banana bread recipes, from chocolate-swirled and peanut butter-filled to fruit-topped and sprinkle-studded. All of them rely on various ingredients to ensure a moist loaf with plenty of banana flavor.
Often times, it comes down to an ingredient with some sort of tanginess, whether that’s sour cream, cream cheese or even buttermilk.
I’m turning to one of my all-time favorite ingredients to add moisture (and protein) to everyone’s favorite way to use up overripe bananas. Bring on the Greek yogurt!
The yogurt lends a touch of tanginess to the loaf without overpowering the banana flavor. And then it’s up to you to add any type of mix-in, from chocolate chips to chopped nuts or even additional fresh fruit (try blueberries or raspberries for the best results).
Preheat your oven for this tried and tested recipe for Greek Yogurt Banana Bread, and find extra breakfast inspiration with Healthy Egg Muffins, Secret Ingredient Fruit Smoothies and more early a.m. favorites.

Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 very ripe, darkly specked bananas, mashed well (about 1 ½ cups)
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (nonfat or regular)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup chopped walnuts, pecans or chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9-inch loaf pan with parchment paper (overhanging on the two long sides) then grease the parchment paper with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, brown sugar, baking soda and salt.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, eggs, Greek yogurt, vegetable oil and vanilla extract. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until combined. Stir in the chopped nuts or chocolate chips then scrape the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake the bread for 50 to 60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan before using the parchment paper overhangs to lift the bread out of the pan to slice and serve.

Wow! The best banana bread…. I used olive oil and I added chocolate chips and walnuts.
So glad you enjoyed it, Renee!
This recipe is the best
So glad you enjoyed it, Renee!
I’ve made this at least a dozen times now. It’s a staple in our house. Not too sweet but also doesn’t taste “too healthy.” Thanks for a wonderful recipe!
Love reading that, Rebecca!
Perfect recipe, delicious every single time!
Thrilled you enjoyed it, Colin!
can I use regular vanilla yogurt? I have a bunch to get rid of
Absolutely, Jan!
Made this recipe for the first time – I cannot taste it as I am gifting it – but it sure looks good!!
I will keep it and try it another time just for me. I put nuts and choc chips in – might as well be decadent.
I hope you enjoy it, Anne!
Really nice results! I added chia seeds but otherwise followed recipe.
So glad you enjoyed it, Wendy!
Best banana loaf recipe ever. Thank-you
Love reading this, Karen! Thanks!
I have made this recipe so many times now that I would never switch it! I love it so much! Thank you for sharing!
So glad you’re enjoying it, Natalie!
Which other oil can u substitute the vegetable oil for please?
Olive oil or avocado oil!
Liked using yogourt rather than butter. Tastes great!
So glad you enjoyed it, Brian!
I made this over the weekend and it tasted fantastic! I like a really moist cake, so I used 4 bananas. Granted my bananas were on the smaller side. Also, letting the loaf sit for an entire day really brings out the flavor. I moved from the US to Germany, so I plugged the recipe into ChatGPT to make sure my conversions were correct. Like someone mentioned, adding Truvia or applesauce can help cut down on the sugar. Since this is not a meal and only a small treat, I’m perfectly ok with the original recipe. I think this recipe is fairly flexible for substitutions. I look forward to making this again and possibly trying different ingredient combinations.
So glad you enjoyed it, Lesley!
Hi there,
This is the second time I have made this banana bread and it is the best every recipe.. 100% in flavour, and taste.. Many thanks
So glad you enjoyed it, Erene!
Taste is nice, no idea what happened but bread turned out dense and rubbery. I’ve used American recipes for baking a few times now and they’ve turned out like this (not with uk recipes though) so I m not sure if it’s the conversion amounts, or what is deemed baking soda (baking powder?) . Not the recipes fault , would love for this to turn out right ?
Hi there! Baking soda and baking powder are not the same.
Excellent bread. Our guests and my Hubby and I really love it!
So glad you enjoyed it, Betsy!
Love the recipe. Easy and a winner. I add mini REESES peanut butter cups only. Doesn’t last have to hide this.
So glad you’re enjoying it, Ingrid!
Aug.8/24
Very good,moist banana bread. Made in 5 mini loaf pans. Thank you.
So glad you enjoyed it, Gloria!
My first time making banana bread and I’ve got to say this came out great! I followed the recipe exactly and added 1cup of chopped walnuts with a few chocolate chips and even fewer peanut butter chips mixed in. My kids loved it! Will definitely make again.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Sam!
Can I add less sugar to make it less sweet or will that mess up how it bakes?
It depends how much less!
A perfect go to for banana bread, almost cake! I use some whole wheat flour mixed with white. Dust the pans with shredded coconut and it’s a hit every time.
So glad you’re enjoying it, Risa!
Omg all that sugar is just ridiculous and so unnecessary, over ripe bananas are all you need for sweetness.
Talk about a sugar spike & ruining what should be a healthy sweet treat !
An unbelievable banana bread!!!
Thank you for the recipie !!!
Thrilled you enjoyed it!
I have made dozens and dozens of loaves of this banana bread over the years — it’s always a sure-fire winner, so moist and flavorful. Sometimes with nuts, sometimes with chocolate chips, sometimes with both. The recipe is perfect as is, but I usually go with a 1-1 ratio of white sugar and dark brown sugar for a total of 3/4 cups. I also mix up a little cinnamon sugar and sprinkle it inside the buttered loaf pan before adding the batter, and then sprinkle some on top.
So glad you enjoyed the recipe, Daniela!
Amazing… My husband loved it so much that I only had a slice, and he ate the rest in one day… I am trying to get him to stop eating boxed snacks so this lit up his world. Thank you for sharing this..
LOVE reading this, Amanda!
This is so easy and tasty. Slight changes, Truvia for sugar, and sub applesauce for oil. It is in the oven again for the second time this month.
So glad you enjoyed it, Miller!
Really easy and tasty. I added walnuts.
So glad you enjoyed it, Lisette!
ANy recipe change to make muffins with this? Thanks!
Hi Suzy! I have an amazing Greek Yogurt Banana Muffins recipe if you search for it on the site here. Enjoy!
Hey Suzy!
I just made this recipe, added them to 18 cupcakes and baked for 25-30 minutes!
I gave this recipe five stars; it is moist and delicious! I added a generous 1/2 tsp. nutmeg and a tablespoon of cinnamon. My husband asked me to make it again, and he is not usually a fan of banana bread.
Love your recipes but here in the UK we have no idea of how much a cup measures
We use lbs and ounces or metric measure.
So would be useful to have a correct measurement please.
You can Google conversions, I’ve done that with many recipes.
Can it be a layered cake as well?
Sure!
Love it
So glad you enjoyed it, Donny!
Amazing! your recipe is my go to no fail/ found during pandemic loved by all. Thank you so much gifted many times always appreciated.
It’s so much more than banana bread, I have used a Bundt tin and a loaf tin either works.
Thank you.
Eunice
Love reading this, Eunice! Thanks!
Everyone lucky enough to get a slice really enjoyed it. Have now discarded my old banana bread recipe I’ve made for years. This one is yummy!
So thrilled to read this, Audrey!
Fab!

Didn’t have nuts and used butter -still great taste and structure!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe!
really moist and so tasty, everybody loved it
I’m so glad you are enjoying the recipe, Carrie!
Awesome recipe, I used chia seeds as a substitute for eggs and just doubled the baking soda and added a two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar. I doubled the recipe so that’s how much vinegar I needed.
Thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Jamie!
Excellent loaf and was so very easy to make.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Sherrie!
Very easy to make. I added sultanas instead of nuts.
Great taste and texture, smells good too.
Lovely and big so would serve more I think.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
My go-to banana bread recipe now! I am not a decent baker but turns out perfect every time, I use epicure loaf pans which are a bit smaller so makes 2 really nice sized loaves, thank you for a great recipe
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Kim!
This Banana Bread recipe is the best I’ve ever made! It’s flavorful and moist. Will be my go to recipe! Thank you. My husband says thank you also!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe!
Love this recipe, comes together quickly and taste great, Thanks.
I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Diane!
I’ve baked a lot of banana bread in my life but this is by far the BEST recipe ever. I recommend folks don’t exceed the 60 minutes bake time even if toothpick comes out with a little bit batter on it…the bread stays nice and moist and finishes up while resting in pan.
It makes me so happy to read this, Cassandra! Thanks for sharing!
I made this banana bread ~ used 4 bananas, 1/4 less cane sugar and a tad more yogurt. I did an extra banana instead of nuts or chocolates. I used a 9×9 square baking pan as the mixture required two loaf pans. Bake it as directed for 50 minutes was moist and delicious!
So glad you enjoyed it, Celestia!
I made this recipe as muffins and it was super good! I added blueberries and walnuts and baked for about 28 minutes. Great recipe :)
So glad you enjoyed it, Jo!
So moist and tasty! This is our favorite banana bread to date! Even the family members who typically do not like banana bread much, loved this one. Thank you for your joywork Kelly!!!
Thanks so much, Lindy! Thrilled you enjoyed it!
This banana bread recipe is on repeat in our house and has been for years. It’s good with or without the chocolate chips and nuts. Thanks again for a great recipe! Teenage boy approved!
I love reading this, Caitlin!
This bread came out great! I sprinkled a little sugar on top at the end to make a crusty surface and it was perfect!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Paige!
So moist. I don’t usually like banana loaf but this one is exceptional. Perfect. I put in both choc chips and walnut. Love!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Sheila!
Very delicious!!! and easy to make :) I love it
So glad you enjoyed it, Soso!
Amazing thank you
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Julia!
Delicious! I don’t really like banana bread as I find it too dry but these are AMAZING!
I was wondering, if making for friends but one doesn’t like bananas, is there anything else you could substitute?
Thanks!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Elle! You could substitute pumpkin purée for bananas.
Moist and delicious
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Lani!
I substituted the oil with an extra banana and a little extra yogurt. Very moist and tasteful. Thank you.
So glad you enjoyed the recipe, Liz!
My go-to banana bread recipe! Less fat, less sugar, and still just as tasty as other recipes! The greek yogurt does a lot for it.
I have been adding an extra egg for a creamier texture but I’m a fan of this recipe!
So glad you’re enjoying the recipe, Noelle!
I baked this banana bread with a few changes: I only had 2 bananas so I added an additional big heaping of yogurt and about 2-3 table spoons of oil to make the batter less thick. I also subbed the oil for olive oil, and I added some dark chocolate chunks into the batter. I ended up baking it for a total of 1.15hrs at a convection bake of 375 degrees. It turned out so good! perfect texture and not too sweet at all.
I’m so glad to hear that you enjoyed the recipe, Ameera!
So easy to follow and a great recipe!
So happy to hear that you enjoyed the recipe, Melinda!

It’s our favorite
Tbhank You So Much
I’m so thrilled to hear that you enjoy the recipe, Bee!!
THANK YOU FOR RECIPE, I need to use up yogurt
I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed the recipe, Linda!
May I substitute the 1/4 c oil for a 1/4 c applesauce? I am also adding blueberries, strawberries and slivered almonds on top. Gracias…..
That should work, Vikki!
Thank you. We blitzed natural almonds and put some peanut crumbs in to go and it was just tasty and cooked beautifully. We will make it again. Cheers.
I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed the recipe, Tracie!
This has become my go-to banana bread recipe. The best! Not too sweet, nice and moist, and good banana flavor. I usually do half a cup of each pecans and chocolate chips. I also sprinkle coarse sugar on top. Perfect! Thank you.
I’m so glad you’re enjoying the recipe, Michelle!
This is the best banana bread that I have ever made. The bread was moist and delicious. The Greek yogurt takes the recipe to the next level. Thank you for posting the recipe.
I’m so glad to hear this and that you enjoyed the recipe, Esther!!
Making this for a 2nd time….SUPER AMAZING!!!!! If i could give more stars, i so would!!!!I do walnuts in mine, never tried chocolate…maybe one day…Thank you for the recipe!!!Lori Galvin in Augusta Ga
I’m so thrilled to hear that you are enjoying the recipe, Lori! Let me know if you try it with chocolate!
I added frozen mixed berries instead of nuts. Delicious!
I’m thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the recipe, Janice!
My kids love the smell of butter so much, can we substitute the 1/4 oil with 1/4 butter?
Yes! a 1/4 of butter would also work instead of oil!
Really good! I reduced the white sugar to 1/3 c and I’d say it’s just right for breakfast-level sweetness.
Around the 50-minute mark I covered the top with foil, as it was looking quite browned but the inside still needed another 10 min. Turned out perfectly. This will be my go-to banana bread recipe from now on. Thanks :)
I’m so glad to hear that you enjoyed the recipe, Mimi!
Love this cake recipe, definite keeper. Super light and great way to use up over ripe bananas.
I’m so thrilled to hear that you love the recipe, Amanda!
Also..
I can NOT keep this in our house past a day, my son and husband polish it off before I can make french toast!!!! Lol Which I think would be fabulous…if I can just make enough to last!
So glad you enjoyed it, Lori!
Now our family favorite. We add lots of chopped nuts and dried fruit, and substitute sour cream for yogurt, depending on what we have on hand. Served it thick sliced soaked with a generous dash of rum for an emergency desert and it was great.
I’m so glad that you and your family enjoyed the recipe, Barbara!
I made with 1 1/2 oat flour,half c. a.p. flour 1/3 c. melted butter.used generous tablespoon maple syrup instead of vanilla.Honey in place of half the sugar.also added 1 tbsp.of lemon juice.
I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed the recipe!!
YUMMY!!!!
Fabulous!! The whole family loved thus deliciousness. Thank you
I’m so happy to read this, Debra!
I made this x3 (I had a lot of bananas)
One was strawberries and blueberries
One was chocolate chip and one was raspberry and blackberry. All of them came out perfect and so delicious.
I’m so glad to hear that you enjoyed the recipe and all 3 loaves!
How do I substitute the sugar and brown sugar for something that’s toddler friendly??
Hi Ricca! It’d be hard to substitute both sugars in this recipe. If you’re looking for a lower-sugar alternative, search of “frozen yogurt” in my search bar and you’ll find an all-fruit option. Enjoy!
Easy, Ricca. Use Monkfruit.
So glad you enjoyed the recipe, Nicole!
Hi! Thanks for sharing your recipe. This the best ever banana cake recipe I have made. And so easy.
I’m so happy you enjoyed the recipe, Sarah!
Kelly!
Thank you for sharing this recipe. I used a gluten-free flour and added a bit of Xanthan Gum as well as a third egg and extra banana. Omitted the chocolate this time, though, and enjoyed a thin spread of Nutella on each slice instead. Even with the slight tweaking, the Banana Bread turned out fabulous! I’m elated to add your recipe to my favorites list, especially for my gluten-free friends!
– with joy from Switzerland –
LOVE reading this, Moriah! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
We love this recipe, I only add the half a cup of white sugar, add a little more yogurt and follow everything else and it is wonderful.
I’m so happy you’ve been enjoying the recipe, Janice!
Love this recipe! I adapted to make it lower carb and higher protein by using Almond Flour instead of regular flour and then added an extra egg. I also add some tasteless protein powder, sugar free choc-chips and pecans. Delish! :)
Awesome! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Simone!
Delicious and moist
I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the banana bread, D Brown!
No matter how i tweak this recipe to make it “healthier” (something i always do to cut down on the guilt) — e.g., 1 cup whole-wheat flour, 1 cup chickpea flour, blueberries, etc. — this recipe miraculously turns moister and more delicious when it sits overnight in the fridge. How is this possible?? Seems counterintuitive, must be the Greek yogurt. This is one of the tastiest, most versatile recipes i’ve tried for a long time. It’s banana bread for breakfast for me for the foreseeable future. Thanks, Kelly!
tried a few variations of this wonderful recipe, substituting 1 cup of some kind of whole grain flour and various add-ins. not crazy about the effects of either chickpea flour or blueberries, but this same exact recipe with the walnuts and 1 cup whole wheat flour will be my standard banana bread from now on. absolutely delicious!
Great recipe. Seems from the comments that you can tweak this just about any way you want, and it’s always delicious. I only had brown sugar in the house, so used only that, and i wanted a slightly healthier version, so did half cup all purpose and half cup wheat flour. Still delicious. Tomorrow I’m going with half cup chickpea flour, and half walnuts/half blueberries, just to keep the experiment going. I have a feeling that no matter what you do to this recipe, it’s going to be outstanding. First time I ever made banana bread, but i’m sure this will always be my go-to favorite.
My new favourite banana bread recipe, made it 4 times now (each time it comes out a little different, but always fabulous). I also use vanilla greek yoghurt as another comment mentioned, as that’s what I usually have around, and it’s perfect in this recipe. Great texture and doesn’t sink after cooling.
Love this recipe! Nice moist banana bread
This was very good! I used toasted walnuts and Oikos Greek vanilla yogurt. My only change was to bake it in two smaller loaf pans. I’ll definitely make this again.
So glad you enjoyed the recipe!
Can I use some buttermilk in this recipe?
Absolutely! Just swap it in for the Greek yogurt.
This is the second time that I’ve made this recipe . Yummm !! VERY moist and has a robust flavor , sweet but yet not to sweet . The first time I fixed it I only had vanilla flavored yogurt . Think it was even better . Hard to get baked in the middle , but covered it with foil and baked another 10 min . Funny about how to store leftovers . NONE left at my casa . Lucky if it makes it till the next day . Try it – it’s DELISH ♥️
So glad you are enjoying it, Tammie!
The nutrition info is per serving, correct?
Yes :)
I used sweetner instead of both sugars in recipe and this cake was perfect!
This cake turned out exactly right even though I only used 2 small bananas .I only had white chocolate drops and didn’t add nuts only because I didn’t have any , and I only had olive oil.
The cake was Still delicious and you can always lightly butter it when its cold to make it even more delicous and a bit naughty .
I’m so happy you enjoyed the recipe, Dawn!
I’ve made many banana bread recipes, and this is the best one I’ve made. It’s super moist, and I even reduced the sugar a bit. Outstanding recipe, thank you!
You are so welcome, Faith! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
This is my new favorite banana bread recipe :) Thank you! I used vegan yogurt (made from mixing a can of coconut milk with two probiotic capsules) and mixed some cacao nibs in with the walnuts.
AMAZING! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Laurie!
Interesting! I was not aware of vegan yogurt.
Ive tried many banana recipes but this one wins every time. Thank you!
You are so welcome, Nicole! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
Not bad, but lacking in banana flavor. Not sure I would make it again, but will definitely enjoy this batch.
For a stronger banana flavor, using bananas with dark brown spots or letting them ripen further can make a significant difference in taste. Very ripe bananas have a sweeter and more pronounced banana taste, which can enhance the overall flavor of the banana bread.
I have made so many different banana bread recipes over the years. Sometimes even setting up side by side taste tests. This is my families favourite recipe. Kudos.
I’m so thrilled to read this, Teresa!
I have two left over bananas and may want to use this recipe again, what can I do to substitute the third banana or would I need a different recipe?
Hi! You can still make this recipe, just replace the missing banana with 1/2 cup applesauce or pumpkin purée. Enjoy!
Can I use regular vanilla yogurt instead?
Absolutely! That would work great.
I made this for the first time today and the kids loved it. It’s a keeper, super moist and flavorful. Thank you
You are so welcome, Zau! I’m so happy to read this!
I have been making this recipe for the last few years now, it’s just like the recipe my mom would use accept she would use sour cream in stead of Greek yogurt which I prefer the Greek yogurt but I also add Chocolate chips and peanut butter chips to my version.
Love reading this, Robert! I’m so thrilled you’ve been enjoying the recipe :)
Please can you put centigrade oven temperature and metric measurements for those of us in Europe
Hi Alison! I don’t provide metric conversions for my recipes, as I cannot guarantee they would be 100% accurate without being tested. However, you are welcome to use an online converter. :)
I’m very excited to make this! How long would I bake if I were to make this into muffin form? Or mini loaves??
Hi Kelly! I’d start checking the muffins around the 18-minute mark and it’ll probably yield ~16 muffins. For mini loaves, I’d start checking them around the 25-minute mark. Enjoy!
Just made this today and WOW! I’ve made a lot of banana bread with lots of different recipes but this one is by far the best! It’s soooo moist and so good! I wrote the recipe down on a recipe card (old school) so I don’t forget it. I didn’t have buttermilk so I was just looking for a recipe that used yogurt instead. Thank goodness I stumbled upon this one!
Love, love, LOVE reading this! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Julie!
Just perfect!!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Sandra!
Is it 309kcal for the whole bread or just per slice?
Hi Olivia! The estimated nutritional info is for one slice.
If I wanted to add strawberries, or something that brings extra moisture, would I have to lessen the amount of yogurt or/and oil? Or would I just have to bake for a longer time? Thanks
Hi Elisabeth! I actually have a recipe for Mixed Berry Banana Bread that you can follow: https://www.justataste.com/mixed-berry-banana-bread-recipe/. Just swap in the same amount of Greek yogurt for the buttermilk. :)
Tried this recipe and added a bit of cinnamon it was SUPER DELICIOUS!! thank you so much! I’ve been trying to find alternatives to baking powder since lots of it contains aluminum. This Greek yogurt recipe was exactly what we needed. Thank you so much ✨
You are so welcome, Britany! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
Oops, forgot to rate. The easiest 5 stars I have ever given!
Thank you so much!
Don’t know how many times I’ve made this recipe over the years (even before Covid) that I have already memorized it. I substitute the yoghurt with homemade kefir, and sometimes add almond slivers and it turns out great! This is probably gonna be the only banana bread recipe I will make for the rest of my life, and I just wanted to say (a belated) thanks! Better late than never! :)
Love, love, LOVE reading this, Marimo! I’m so happy you’ve been enjoying the recipe!
Second time making this, great base recipe! I used apple sauce instead of sugar and coconut oil instead of veg oil but love how you can play around w ingredients according to what you have on hand. Made it with berries, dark chocolate and almonds the first time and now with oats, cinnamon, peaches and dark chocolate
YUM! I’m thrilled you’ve been enjoying the recipe, Shanti!
Love this recipe! It’s my go to for banana bread! The only swap I make is I use blueberries instead of nuts or choco chips
YUM! I’m so glad you’ve been enjoying the recipe, Vivi!
I loved and my granddaughters to.
I’m so happy to read this, Elka!
This is a great recipe ! Forgive me, I tweaked this recipe using 1/2 cup yogurt and
added 1 heavy table spoon Banana Liquor.
Everyone just loves this and I always just use Pecans or Walnuts i will have to add chocolate bits sometime..
I’m thrilled you’ve been enjoying the recipe, Joseph!
Very good recipe ! I added 1/4 extra cup of Vanilla Greek Yogurt and omitted one banana. Instead of chocolate chips or walnuts (I did not have any at the time), I used a mixture of 1/4 cup of brown sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. I placed the mixture on top of the loaf prior to baking.
YUM! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Jen!
Great recipe – I’ve made this bread several times and it never disappoints :) Thank you for sharing such a great recipe
You are so welcome, Chrystal! I’m thrilled you’ve been enjoying the recipe!
This is now my go-to banana bread recipe!
Woohoo! I’m so happy you enjoyed it, Alicia!
Excellent!!! Moist and tasty!!!
I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Wendy!
Hello
Can fresh blueberries be an add in instead of chocolate or nuts?
Absolutely, Maggie! That would be delicious!
I was looking for a banana bread recipe that added Greek yogurt (and also chocolate chips)- this recipe did not disappoint!
I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Melissa!
Thankyou so much for this recipe. This banana bread happened to be the best I’ve made to date :) only change was substituting oil for Apple sauce..Added in 1/2 cup choc chips, 1/2 cup of walnuts! Amazingly moist and delish!!
I’m so happy to read this, Nadia! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
I half the amount of white sugar and sometimes also add baking powder to mimic my other banana bread recipe that uses milk. I love the Greek yogurt swap. I usually make up to 18 muffins, depending on how full I fill them. About 20 minutes at 350. A family favorite!!
I’m so thrilled you’ve been enjoying the recipe, Amanda!
Yes, you need a 9-inch pan for it. Smaller ones are too small, unless you leave the nuts out. VERY good! I used half-and-half barley flour (cause there it was) and bread flour (to make up for barley flour’s weakness) — it came out very nice.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Richard!
So good! I dont have a lot of experience baking but this recipe is very easy to follow. I used Splenda instead of sugar and a mix of chocolate chips and walnuts. My apartment smells delicious.
Yay! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Tatiana!
This was similar to my mom’s favorite banana bread recipe but better! I love it. Just made it again! Thank you!
You are so welcome, Lisa! I’m thrilled you’ve been enjoying the recipe!
Excellent! Used part butter and coconut oil, added flax seed, chopped apple.
Thank you!
YUM! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Lala!
I’ve been looking for a banana bread recipe that is moist and not too sweet. This is it! Every one that I gave a slice to loved it. All wanted the recipe. I added chocolate chips. I’m not a baker,but this recipe is so easy to whip up in no time. I used vanilla Greek yogurt in place of adding vanilla. The result was delicious!!!
This is what I love to read, Wanda! I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
Delicious!!!!! Great recipe! I always use applesauce instead of oil or butter when I bake and it comes out even moister and better for you.
So glad you enjoyed the recipe!
Yes ! Apple sauce makes it incredibly moist along with the lovely yoghurt in this recipe. love it
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Nadia!
This is one of my absolute favorite. The yogurt makes this pop.
I’m so thrilled you’ve been enjoying the recipe, Kathleen!
I kept coming back to the recipe to make it. Love it. my granddaughter love it with added extra blueberries. we called it blueberries dark chocolate banana bread. I also cut out the sugar, kept light brown sugar in as your recipe indicated, and use either avocado, or olive oil.
Thank you for your recipe
You are so welcome, Maria! I’m thrilled you and your granddaughter have been enjoying the recipe!
I can’t tell you how many times I have used this recipe. It has turned out fantastic every time. Today I made a triple batch using a whole grain flour and less sugar,using only the brown sugar. Loaf is so moist and delicious! My diabetic husband is very happy!
This is what I love to read! I’m thrilled you’ve been enjoying the recipe!
This bread has a very nice texture and moisture level. I always use the optional walnuts. Simple to make and very flavourful. Definite hit with my family and friends.
Awesome! I’m so thrilled you’ve been enjoying the recipe, Don!
By far the BEST banana bread I’ve ever made. Super tasty and baked perfectly Thank you
You are so welcome, Anne! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
So far the best banana bread I made. Thank you.
So glad to hear that, Nata!
Delicious! Thank you. Made with chocolate chips for my son.
You are so welcome, Jenifer! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe (I hope your son enjoyed it, too!). :)
Can i make this without using parchment paper
Hi MaryJoy! That’ll work if you generously grease your pan with cooking spray or butter and then sprinkle a bit of flour all over the baking pan. Shake and roll the flour around so that it sticks to the grease. You want the flour to stick evenly and then tap out any excess.
Hi Kelly,
Thanks for this awesome recipe. I just finished baking a loaf and it’s almost gone. It tasted so nice and was moist. I didn’t use white sugar at all and used 3/4 cup of brown sugar instead. I also improvised with the Greek yoghurt. I didn’t have plain greek yoghurt. I used some Greek yoghurt that was supposed to be plain at the top with a base of peach and mango puree at the base to be mixed when consuming. Somehow, the plain portion was already tasting of peach and mango without having mixed them together. I used it like that and the taste was still great.
I will definitely be sticking with your recipe. I’ve tried so many but none tastes so well as this. I’m so happy I discovered it.
You are so welcome, Tilly! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
This is one of the better banana bread recipes I have made! I have made a lot it’s delicious, easy with simple ingredients. I LOVE IT!!
So glad you enjoyed it, Maria!
If I used buttermilk in place of Greek yogurt how much would I use?
Hi Tiffany! Use the same amount of buttermilk as you would yogurt (1/4 cup). :)
Delicious and moist and not super dense
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Fay!
Love how this cuts the regular canola oil amount in half by using the Greek yogurt!
I only did the 1/4 cup brown sugar (no white sugar needed) and it turned out sweet enough for me.
Great recipe!
Yay! I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the banana bread, Ash!
I have a glass loaf pan. Do I need to lower the temp and increase the baking time?
Thankyou.
Susan
Hi Susan! The standard advice for baking in glass is to lower the oven temperature by 25°F from what the recipe calls for, and bake up to 10 minutes longer. I recommend checking the bread frequently after the 50-minute mark for doneness with the good ol’ toothpick-inserted-in-center-of-loaf-comes-out-clean test.
Thank you. I will try it and let you know how it turns out.Susan
You are so welcome. Enjoy!
Two questions before I attempt this recipe. Can I omit the sugar completely? Would regular yogurt work, Greek yogurt is difficult to find where I am!
Hi Sylvie! Sugar is an essential ingredient for providing the right moisture and texture. You could try reducing it by a small amount (25%). And regular yogurt works!
Made this tonight and added about a half cup of chocolate chips. It was delicious!! It is now my go-to banana bread recipe. Thank you!
You are so welcome, Sheree! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
Came out excellent !
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Catherine!
I make this all the time and it is the best banana bread we have ever tasted. I switch it up every time I make it but, what we really like is adding cranberries and chocolate chips. The cranberries are tart and the sweetness from the chocolate is really nice.I will also add chopped walnuts but it’s not necessary.GREAT recipe!
Thank you!
Silvia
You are so welcome, Silvia! I’m thrilled you’ve been enjoying the recipe!
Made this for the first time, and it came out absolutely AMAZING. It is SO good. The Greek yogurt is the perfect touch. I can’t wait to make it again!
Woohoo! I’m so happy you enjoyed the recipe, Beth!
I haven’t baked in years & had some very ripe bananas & luckily all the ingredients in the pantry. I added some chopped dates as per hubbys request as I made it for him. Wow it’s fabulous. I nicked a tiny end bit to try & loved it. Thanks for the recipe.
You are so welcome, Delrene! I’m thrilled you and your husband enjoyed the banana bread!
It’s in the oven right now! I didn’t have vegetable oil so I even swapped with olive oil. I also add an espresso shot, dashes of ginger, dash of all spice, some white chocolate chips and a smidgen of maple syrup.
Basic I remixed your original. Hopefully it comes out good
Thank you for the recipe.
Can’t wait to read your results, Shawn! Enjoy!
Best banana bread ever ♥️
Woohoo! I’m so happy you enjoyed the recipe, Tania!
So good! Not so sweet!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Betsy!
This recipe is amazing! Definitely try it. We use pecans and chocolate chips in ours. Always turns out delicious!
YUM! I’m so happy you’ve been enjoying the recipe, Theresa!
Extremely delicious ❤️
I’m so happy you enjoyed the recipe, Ammara!
I’ve been baking for over 50 years, and this is definitely the BEST tasting banana bread recipe I have made
WOWZA! I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Jacquie!
Delicious!!! Very moist! My husband asked why I didn’t make 2 loaves. So 2 loaves in the oven now.
Woohoo! I’m so glad you and your husband enjoyed the banana bread, Paula!
Easy and delicious Banana bread recipe!! My family really enjoyed it.
I’m so happy to read this, Maria!
Love this recipe. I use it as a base to make zucchini bread and pumpkin bread as well. I use Splenda (I add a teaspoon of molasses) and 1/2 cup of unsweetened applesauce instead of oil. Always turns out great!
Awesome! I’m so happy you’ve been enjoying the recipe, Mary!
I doubled the recipe and made 3 8 inch loaves. We are enjoying one today (YUM!!) and I have the other 2 in the freezer for the next time I am craving banana bread. I didn’t add nut or chocolate but we loved the bread. Super easy and used up some plain yogurt too.
Awesome! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, K!
Just wondering for future loaves, about how long did it take to make (3) , 8in loaves when doubling the recipe?
Wonderful recipe! Super moist and tasty!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Esther!
I usually suck at making banana bread for some reason but this one turned out amazing! I swapped out the oil for 1/4 cup more Greek yogurt (which was vanilla flavoured already, so I omitted the vanilla in the recipe) and the brown sugar for coconut sugar. And I added chocolate chunks! But despite those changes, the banana bread was incredible and I’m so happy I have a go-to recipe now. Thank you!
Yay! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Lauren!
So today I made the Greek Yoghurt Banana Bread and it was as good as they say it was.
I didn’t adjust the recipe in any way and I made them into Mini Bar Loaves.
Great recipe Thankyou now on my rotation especially for school lunch boxes.
Yay! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Laura!
I love baking banana bread, this recipe is one of the best I have tried.
Moist and tasty! Thank you very much for this recipe!
You are so welcome, Barbara! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
I don’t make sweet things very often ( because I eat them!) but felt comfortable making this because after all it has bananas, nuts and yogurt. It was AMAZING! About to make it again for friends this time. This is a keeper.
I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Jane! It’s one of my all-time favorites!
Excellent recipe!!! Prepared it exactly as specified; folded in flour mixture in additions of 1/3 to the moist ingredients, but only until fully incorporated, careful not to “over-blend”. Added 1c toasted, chopped walnuts. Came out lighter than the average banana bread and wasn’t overly sweet!
Thank you for sharing this recipe—a keeper!
You are so welcome, Marcie! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
Love this banana bread, super tasty. My family loves it too.
I’m so happy you’ve been enjoying the recipe, Diane!
I love this recipe! The yogourt keeps the banana bread moist and I get some many compliments on my banana bread. I’ve tried the walnuts and chocolate chips versions and both are great.
I’m so happy you’ve been enjoying the recipe!
Hello! Has this ever been tried with almond flour? That’s all I have on hand. Thank you
Hi Sheri! I’ve never made banana bread with almond flour so unfortunately, I can’t weigh in on what the results would be. Let me know if you give it a shot!
I have made a lot of banana bread before but something was always off. This was soooo amazing I can’t stop eating it! Thank you!
You are so welcome, Athena! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
Would this freeze well? I’m thinking of making it for my sons weekday breakfast and thought I could defrost daily.
Hi Rupa! Yes, this bread freezes well :)
Best banana bread recipe ever! Following the advice of other reviewers I increased the yoghurt ratio, as well as adding choc chips as per Kelly’s recipe.
So much moister and healthier than using butter.
I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Katherine!
Perfect, so easy and moist banana bread! I only had vanilla yogurt, so used less white sugar than indicated. 60+ minutes in the loaf tin. Added 1/2 cup choc chips and 1/2 cup walnuts. Delicious.
I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Jean!
Very good! I mashed up some berries from our yard and added them to the mix, making it very delicious
YUM! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Crystal!
Simply delicious.
I made it and baked in muffin cups.
1st batch exact recipe. 2nd batch 2wks later, i made with 3/4 cornflour +1/4 regular flour.
Oh so yummy both and moist. wish I could upload a picture.
So glad you enjoyed the recipe, Aramide!
HELP !! I have the mixture all ready to go but I have just discovered the oven is broken :(
Can I cook this in the microwave some how?
Thank you. x
Hi Anna! I have never made banana bread in a microwave so I’m not sure how that would work.
I followed a few of the recommendations in the comments to make this a bit healthier, and it turned out sooo good! I subbed whole wheat flour, added another 1/4 c of yogurt in place of vegetable oil and used honey instead of sugar. Not too sweet and perfectly moist!
I’m glad you enjoyed the banana bread, Selina!
I have made many banana breads but this one is the best!
I put in chopped walnuts, chocolate chips, and if I have them, whole frozen cranberries. The last time I made it, I added cocoa powder and made it chocolate. The bread is never dry and the recipe never fails. The BEST!
Amazing! I’m so happy you’ve been enjoying the recipe, Silvia!
This is such any easy and low fat cake and I get to use over ripe bananas so no waste. Didn’t put choc or pecans on but will next time.
I’m so happy you enjoyed the recipe, Christine!
I make this all the time, so easy and even yummier
Woohoo! I’m so glad you’ve been enjoying the recipe, Mike!
Nice! It’s identical to the one with sour cream and I almost always have to go out and buy sour cream when I make it, but I always have Greek yogurt in my house. This is THE best banana bread recipe out there, in my opinion, and I have tried a lot of recipes looking for a perfect one. This is it!
WOWZA! I’m so thrilled you’ve been enjoying this recipe, Brenda!
Best one I’ve tried and I’ve tried a lot!
AMAZING! I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Vince!
Thanks for the recipe! So yummy. My everlasting hang-up about naner bread is the middle taking too long to cook. I’m sure it’s me, but I don’t know what exactly it is. 70 minutes in a glass Pyrex 9×5 pan and the sides were chewy; middle perfect. Is it the glass or some hidden curse causing the ends of all my banana breads to end up as bird food?
Hi Jana! Glass is much slower to heat than metal. I’d suggest using a metal baking pan.
making now for the 2nd time. only have small eggs so using 3. Hope it turns out a excellent as first loaf.
I’m thrilled you’ve been enjoying the recipe, Linda!
My 11 year old said :This is the best banana bread I’ve eaten ,hehe!
This recipe is a keeper.
Thank you:)
WOWZA! This is what I love to read, Elize!
I’ve made this twice now and my boyfriend, our guests and I love it!
I’ve put pecans and some banana slices, and also demerara sugar and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top.
The crust becomes crispy and the salt just completes this so deliciously, I highly recommend you trying it!
Thank you for this great and easy recipe.
You are so welcome, Lisa! I’m thrilled you’ve been enjoying the recipe!
This is my go-to banana bread. It always turns out perfect.
Love reading this! I’m so thrilled you’ve been enjoying the recipe!
I’m excited to try this – if I wanted to make muffins instead would you recommend changing the bake time?
Hi Jackie! I’d start checking the muffins around the 18-minute mark and it’ll probably yield ~16 muffins. Let me know how they turn out!
Made it today. After trying so many banana bread recipes this is by far the best.
Thanks very much for sharing :D
Anne
So thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Anne!
Make this recipe once a week! I use whatever Greek yogurt I have … used blueberry yogurt this last time and it was amazing! Also
Add chocolate chips … my
Kids eat it all in one day
AMAZING! I’m so happy your family has been enjoying the recipe, Michele!
I have made this recipe several times and everyone thinks it is great….works well mixing Walnuts and Chocolate chips!
Love that combo, Joseph! I’m so glad you’ve been enjoying the recipe!
This is my goto recipe, it rocks!! Been experimenting with different flavors of yogurt, so far Aldi honey vanilla greek or salted caramel are the winners. I even used sour cream once and it was delish.
Thanks for being our new after school snack- family loves it!!
LOVE reading this, Caroline! I’m so thrilled your family has been enjoying the recipe! Salted caramel sounds AMAZING!
I’m sure this has already been posted, but does anyone know the nutrition information on these? I can’t wait to try them tomorrow!
Hi Summer! You can find the estimated nutritional info by clicking on the purple button below the recipe that says ESTIMATED NUTRITION INFORMATION. :) I hope you enjoy the recipe!
I’ve tried a few banana bread recipes and this one is by far the best! Already have made it twice. Thank you!!
Love reading this, Debbie! I’m so thrilled you’ve been enjoying the recipe!
I made mine with coconut sugar, monkfruit, some coconut flour, coconut oil…I’m sure somewhere in those substitutions, I messed up but I was craving some banana bread …thank you for providing the recipe..
You’re so welcome, B. :)
Good recipe that is low in saturated fat for people who need to watch their cholesterol levels.
The cake is moist and not too sweet. I used whole wheat flour instead, 1/2 cup sugar and added diced apple to the batter. It was perfect for breakfast or a snack.
Love your addition of diced apple, Betty! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe!
Absolutely wonderful recipe. Perfect ingredients, moist and full of flavor!
Thank you!
You are so welcome, Ricky! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
I loved this very moist bread. I used almond and oat flour, along with wheat flour. I added natural coconut flakes and walnuts with semisweet chocolate chips, an extra egg and an extra banana. I also used almond yogurt.. Very good
YUM! I’m so glad you enjoyed the banana bread, Kate!
Wonderful recipe! We reduced the sugar by 1/4 cup and we did add in the optional cup of chocolate chips
Yay! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Jenni!
Excellent recipe that is moist and delicious!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Paula!
I like to make without eggs you mentioned replace eggs for flex seeds how much flex seeds should be used . Can we use flex seeds powder.
Hi Sanyo! To make one flax egg, combine one tablespoon of flaxseed meal and three tablespoons of water and allow to sit for about 5 minutes. You will need two flax eggs for this recipe. I haven’t made this recipe using a flax egg so I’m not sure what the results will be, but let me know if you give it a shot!
How could you call this a healthy alternative with that much sugar and just all purpose flour?
Hi Sid – I don’t claim this to be a healthier alternative, just one that has more moisture and a little added protein from the Greek yogurt.
I made mini muffins with this recipe! They are so good and easier to count on WW. I added less walnuts and less chocolate chips. Next time I’ll probably leave out the chips entirely. I really had to keep an eye on them since I wasn’t sure how long they would need to bake. Pretty sure it was less than 15 minutes and they were nice and brown. Thanks!
Woohoo! I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Vicki!
I’m gluten free (so used gf flour) and have been looking for an easy banana bread recipe, tried it today and came out perfectly! Thank you :)
Amazing! I’m so happy you enjoyed the recipe, Alia!
Just made this. Used 1/2 c Greek vanilla yogurt instead of adding any vegetable oil. Sprinkled the walnuts on top instead of adding to the batter. Healthy and delicious! Will definitely be making this again!
I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Beth!
I used just the brown sugar as I put some raisins in with the nuts. I also used olive oil instead of vegetable oil. Turned out wonderful.
Awesome! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Pauline!
Step “5.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan before using the parchment paper overhangs to life [] : lift (?)
(Sorry)
Thanks for catching that typo, Anna!
I cut the sugar to 1/3 C total, (I find most recipes too sweet), could maybe even go to 1/4 C total for my taste-buds next time. Overall a very tasty and easy recipe! I also added about 1/8 t chai spice and used avocado oil, and a handful of chopped pecans and a handful of dark chocolate chips.
Chai spices – YUM! I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Sue!
Hi what to use to make it eggless? Can I add more yogurt or add buttermilk?
Hi Anita! You’ll need an egg-like ingredient, so if a flax egg is an option for you, that would work!
By far the best banana bread I’ve had!
Love reading this, Amy!
This has been my go-to recipe for banana bread for over a year, now. I tweaked the recipe a bit by using vanilla-flavored Greek yogurt, coconut oil instead of vegetable oil and using less sugar (since I’m using the vanilla-flavored yogurt and adding Whole Foods dark chocolate baking chunks). I also liberally grease a glass baking dish with butter instead of using parchment.
Great recipe!
Love your swaps! I’m so thrilled you’ve been enjoying the recipe!
Something is off about the proportions in the recipe. For one loaf, it says I need 3 bananas=1 1/2 cups; for two loaves, it says I need 6 bananas also= 1 1/2 cups. How can it be that 3 bananas yield the same amount of cups as 6 bananas?
Thank you for bringing this to our attention, Ulrike. To double the recipe, you’ll need 6 very ripe bananas or about 3 cups.
I absolutely love this recipe. It is super easy to make and very yummy! I love that there is an option to adjust quantity of how many batches you want. My kids loved it! I added sprinkles to the top to give it a little more colour!!
Yay! I’m so happy your family has been enjoying the recipe, Gabriela!
Hi, can I substitute the flour with coconut flour?
Hi Claudine! I’ve never made banana bread with coconut flour so unfortunately, I can’t weigh in on what the results would be. Let me know if you give it a shot.
Quick question- is the estimated nutrition info for the whole loaf or 1 piece, thanks?
Hi Kassandra! The estimated nutritional info is for one serving. :)
Hi Thanks for this great receipe. I used coconut yoghurt in my cake and it was delicious. Cut the sugar by 1/3 and it was sweet enough from the banana and coconut yoghurt .
Thanks again
You are so welcome, Kiran! I’m glad you enjoyed the recipe!
Best Banana bread ever!!!!
Woohoo! I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
The best banana bread out there! Thank you for this easy to follow but oh so delicious recipe!
You are so welcome, Thandie! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
Hi! Love this recipe!! I’ve made it a bunch of times and was wondering if anyone had a guestimate for the baking time if I made it into muffins and roughly how many it would make… Also will be sad to lose the beautiful browning that comes with making it in an actual loaf pan :(
Hi Cat! I’d start checking the muffins around the 18-minute mark and it’ll probably yield ~16 muffins. Let me know how they turn out!
I’ve tried many recipes… this is the best one!
I’m so thrilled to read this, Dee!
Hi, I made this cake and added fresh Blueberries and Pecans. I converted it to Gluten Free as I’m Coeliac. It was wonderful.
Thank you.
Definitely making it again.
Awesome! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Catherine!
Easy recipe…smells good! just waiting on the baking to do a taste test!
I hope you enjoy the banana bread, Sharon!
Thank you Kelly for this recipe , this is the first recipe of banana bread that my whole family approves of.The bread was finished even before it cooled completely and every one loved it . I just used the light brown sugar for the quantity mentioned in the recipe and an extra banana( 4 bananas ), its perfect!!
I’m so thrilled your family enjoyed the recipe, Parul!
I was short on all purpose flour so I used 1 ½ cups all purpose and ½ cup of oatmeal flour (oats pulsed in a food processor until flour consistency).
I also only had vanilla Greek yogurt so I used that.
My sons loved this banana bread and they usually don’t care for it.
This recipe has been required to be made again!
Woohoo! I’m so thrilled to read this, Nicole!
What an excellent and forgiving recipe. Only had two large bananas, so substituted the third with even more yoghurt. This worked a treat, because we prefer our desserts not too sweet, and our bananas were well ripened, providing sufficient sweetness. We used 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup brown sugar. For added texture, we used a mixture of all purpose, cake and bread flour. Threw in a cup of chopped walnuts and almonds. Baked in an 8×8 pan and bread was gone in a day. Thank you, from sunny Singapore!
Love reading this, Bella!
Hi, can I change the sugar to sugar cane sugar?
Sure! :)
I didn’t have plain Greek so I used the Vanilla Greek yogurt. I didn’t want to waste what was left in the container it was a little more than the 1/4 c. I used my muffin tin instead of a loaf. It cooked for around 25-30 min. I had a tiny bit left so made mini muffins, @around 15-18 minutes.
Thank you for this recipe. I felt like the others that had an amazing recipe but this one beats my other recipe!! ❤️ ♥️
Amazing! I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Jamie!
My new go to banana bread recipe. Made them into muffins also cooking fir about 20-25 mins.
Got all the ingredients here and easy to do dry ingredients together then wet ingredients and mix together, too easy!
Thanks for sharing Kelly, will be checking out your other recipes too.
You are so welcome, Kerrie! I’m glad you enjoyed the recipe, and welcome to Just a Taste!
I love this recipe and it has become the family favorite banana bread. I have made eight loaves to date. I did use the walnuts and did nut use any chocolate chips,
So happy to read this, Jimmy! I’m thrilled your family has been enjoying the banana bread!
This looks wonderful! Can this be doubled for a 9×13 cake pan?
Thanks, Grace! I’m not sure how doubling the quantity would fit in a 13×9″ pan but you’d definitely need to adjust the bake time as well.
Yes made banana bread excellent family enjoyed. Put both pecans and chocolate chips in bread. Will make again. Thank you for recipe.
You are so welcome, Kathy! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
According to hubby the best banana bread ever, I did make with whole meal flour and reduce the sugar by half, he is borderline diabetic, but the result was delicious, ours had walnuts in not the dark chocolate, stran*ely someone had eaten that… great recipe, thank you
Haha! I’m so thrilled you and your husband enjoyed the recipe, Elize!
By far my most favourite banana bread recipe. It is absolutely delicious. Thank you so much for sharing it.
You are so welcome, Anelize! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
I had been using the same banana bread recipe for years and then decided to try something new! I’m glad I did! This recipe will be my new go-to for banana bread!
WOW! I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Katie!
Great recipe . So nice and easy
I used Fodmap flour and topping of crushed walnuts and Peppita seeds.
Yummy
I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Maria!
Amazing every time! I’ve made this over 10 times and it is wonderful.
AMAZING! I’m so thrilled you’ve been enjoying the banana bread recipe, Melissa!
Yey! Great recipe and alternate to my usual banana-cinnamon bread.
I love the moist. So happy that my conversion to grams of the ingredients was correct :-). I followed the recipe with two twists. I reduced the sugar to 125 grams because of the planned mix-in chocolate sprinkles and peanut. For lack of plain greek yoghurt, I had to use mango-passion fruit greek yoghurt :-) — which made me anxious, whee. But I had a big smile and LOL when the cake tasted still magnificent.
Awesome! I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Franz!
Hi. I live in the Canarian island of Gran Canaria, where bananas are cultivated. And our bananas are small and very sweet,- just perfect for this recipe. As they are so sweet our banana I cut down on the sugar amount leaving out the 1/2 cup of regular sugar. I had a lot of ripe bananas the first time I made it, so I doubbled the amount and mad 2. It came out delicious! Shared with my neighbours, and now they brings me bananas to make them the bread every often. I have shared the recipe with them, but they keep saying that mine is better ;-) Thanks
Love reading this, Kristin! I’m so thrilled you and your neighbors have been enjoying the banana bread!
Husband said best banana bread he’s ever eaten
Woohoo! I’m so thrilled to read this, Heather!
The banana bread was delicious. I followed it exactly but used monk fruit sugar and a brown sugar substitute . I couldn’t tell the difference and the bread was moist and tasty. Great recipe.
Excellent! I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Ramona!
Does this freeze well?
Yes! :)
I love greek yogurt and banana bread so I am trying this. It’s in the oven right now. I deviated a bit by adding 2 tsp of baking powder. We’ll see if it still works.
I hope you enjoy it, Jim!
I have been baking banana bread all my life, following my mother’s recipe. It is delicious but I cringed every time I made it because it calls for so much sugar. I thought I would try another recipe and chose this one and I just love it – my family does as well. I followed the recipe exactly adding both chocolate chips and walnuts as suggested. The bread is super moist and just delicious. Thank you so much!
Love reading this, Nancy! I’m so thrilled your family enjoyed the banana bread!
I don’t have Greek yogurt will standard one do?
Definitely!
Best Banana recipe ever!!! I made it with both nuts and chocolate chips…delicious!! So moist!!
Woohoo! I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Maria!
Superb moist and delicious banana bread. Using only 1/2 cup of brown sugar.
Thanks for sharing the recipe.
You are so welcome, Yovita! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
The bread turned out really delicious and moist. I used Kodiak Mix instead of the all purpose flour. I added Vanilla Yogurt and no sugar. I have saved this recipe for future.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Jaya!
Great recipe, the Greek yogurt was a delightful twist!
I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Lisa!
I came upon this recipe searching for breastmilk boosting ideas. I am a banana bread fan and I have found one I really like. I used almond flour and coconut oil to substitute and I also added 1 Tbs of flaxseed. My baking time was 1 hr and 7 mins. Next time I want to try adding some oats I hope it turns out as good as it did this time.
Great recipe!!
I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Gisselle!
Just made it! In the oven for 55 mins, not burnt, cooked through and moist. I added a generous pinch if cinnamon and some chopped pecans and dark chocolate, left out the sugar! Super yummy, thanks for the recipe x
Excellent! I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Kristina!
I had high hopes for this, but the inside was still raw after 50 minutes. I couldn’t bake it any longer because the outside would have gotten too brown. I would have given 3 stars, but the cause might be my oven running too hot.
I will try again at a lower oven temperature, because it was pretty tasty.
Hi Karla! Oven temperatures (as well as baking dishes) can cause great variances in the bake time. If you’re nervous about the timing and the bread being baked but not too brown, you can cover it with foil for the last 15 minutes or so. Looking forward to reading your results the next time you try the recipe! :)
I added a pinch of cinnamon and used dark chocolate chips…delicious!
YUM! I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Shelly!
It’s in the oven right now – I added blueberries AND chocolate chips – fingers crossed!
YUM! Enjoy!
Enjoy the tanginess of yogurt sub 1 egg for 1/4 cup xtra yogurt.
As close to my aunts secret banana bread recipe!
I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Karen Jean!
Simple yet so yummy and moist.
I too, need to have it back in the oven for another 10 more minutes.
Since I prefer less sweet, I only use 1/2 sugar while adding some mixed peels and raisin, I also substitute oil with butter.
Certainly a recipe to repeat and to share with friends. Thank you!
You are so welcome, Yanny! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
Love this recipe !!! And it can be made with so many substitutes!! So moist . It’s a bit hit in my family ❤️
I’m so thrilled to read this!
Just made it this morning. This is a wonderful update of a classic recipe which I have been baking for many years. I did cut back on the sugars a little. It tastes delicious and I will use your recipe going forward. Thanks so much!
You are so welcome, Karen! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
Brilliant recipe , lovely and moist
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Ruth!
great, simple, goofproof recipe. I cup back on the sugar a tiny bit since my bananas were nearly black (so very sweet!) and added a pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg. Very yummy. Thanks!
