Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.
- Add the sugar to the eggs and whisk until the mixture is light and frothy.
- Pour in the olive oil, vanilla extract, and Greek yogurt. Mix until smooth and well incorporated.
- In another medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, baking soda, and ground cinnamon until thoroughly combined.
Tips:
- Use very ripe bananas, as they are sweeter and add more banana flavor to the bread.
- Feel free to substitute the walnuts with other nuts like pecans or add chocolate chips for a different twist.
- Mix your dry and wet ingredients separately before combining them to ensure even distribution and avoid overmixing.
- To check if the bread is done, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean or with just a few crumbs, the bread is ready.
- Store leftover banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
Once baked, allow your banana bread to cool slightly before slicing. Enjoy it warm or at room temperature for a delightful snack or breakfast option. This banana bread is sure to become a favorite in your household, perfect for any time you need a comforting, homemade treat.
