Ingredients:

2 eggs
100g
1.50 cups sugar
300g
1/2 cup olive oil
120g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4g
2 tbsp greek yogurt
30g
3 bananas
360g
1 cup walnuts
230g
2 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
250g
1 tsp baking soda
5g
1 tsp cinnamon
3g
1 tsp salt
5g

Instructions:

1. Preheat and Prepare Pan:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easier removal later.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together the 2 eggs and 1.5 cups of sugar until well combined. Add in the 1/2 cup of olive oil, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt. Continue to whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
3. Prepare Bananas:
In a separate bowl, mash the 3 bananas until smooth but still slightly chunky. Add the mashed bananas to the wet ingredient mixture and stir until well incorporated.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients:
In another bowl, whisk together the 2 cups of all-purpose white wheat flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon salt.
5. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the bread tough.
6. Add Walnuts:
Gently fold in the 1 cup of chopped walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
7. Pour into Pan:
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
8. Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean. If the top starts to brown too quickly, you can lightly cover it with aluminum foil to prevent burning.
9. Cool:
Remove the pan from the oven and let the banana bread cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes. Then, remove the loaf from the pan and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
10. Serve:
Slice and enjoy your delicious homemade banana bread! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer shelf life.

Tips:

- Use overripe bananas for the best flavor and moisture.

- Mix wet and dry ingredients separately before combining to avoid over-mixing the batter, which can result in a dense loaf.

- Fold in the walnuts gently to distribute them evenly throughout the bread.

- Line your loaf pan with parchment paper to ensure easy removal and a clean presentation.

- Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing to get neat and even pieces.

Baking banana bread is an enjoyable and straightforward process that yields a delectable homemade treat. By following these straightforward steps and useful tips, you can create a moist and flavorful banana bread that will please any crowd. Happy baking!
