Scale
- 340g all‑purpose flour; 65g whole‑wheat flour; 1 tsp baking soda; ½ tsp salt; 1 tsp ground cinnamon; ½ tsp ground nutmeg (optional); 115g unsalted butter, melted; 200g granulated sugar; 2 large eggs; 1 tsp vanilla extract; 340g mashed ripe bananas (about 3 large); 120ml Greek yogurt or sour cream; 120ml milk; 120ml chopped walnuts or chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5‑inch loaf pan. 2. Whisk together flours, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a bowl. 3. In another bowl, blend melted butter and sugar, then add eggs one at a time, beating well, followed by vanilla. 4. Stir in mashed bananas, yogurt, and milk until just combined. 5. Fold dry ingredients into wet mixture gently; add optional nuts or chips. 6. Pour batter into pan, smooth top, and bake 55‑65 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. 7. Cool 10 minutes in pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- For extra moisture, substitute part of the flour with oat flour. To make gluten‑free, use a 1‑to‑1 gluten‑free flour blend. Adjust sweetness with honey if desired.
