delicious homemade banana bread that’s as healthy as it is satisfying!

Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients

1. To the mashed bananas, add eggs, honey (or maple syrup), oil, vanilla extract, and Greek yogurt.
2. Whisk until smooth and well combined.

This creates the base of your banana bread—moist, flavorful, and nutrient-rich.

Step 4: Combine Dry Ingredients

1. In a separate bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
2. Mixing dry ingredients separately ensures even distribution and prevents clumps.

Step 5: Bring It All Together

1. Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet mixture.
2. Stir gently until just combined—do not overmix, or the bread may become dense.
3. If desired, fold in nuts, seeds, or chocolate chips at this stage.

Step 6: Pour and Bake

1. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan.
2. Smooth the top with a spatula.
3. Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7: Cool and Serve

1. Let the banana bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
2. Transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

This resting step allows the flavors to develop fully.

Tips for Success

• Banana Ripeness: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful the bread. Look for ones with plenty of brown spots.
• Moisture Balance: Greek yogurt keeps the bread soft without needing excess oil.
• Storage: Store at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for a week. It also freezes beautifully—just wrap slices individually.
• Health Boost: Add flax seeds, chia seeds, or even shredded zucchini for extra nutrients without altering the flavor much.
