For the Batter

3 large ripe bananas primary sweetener and source of moisture

2 large eggs provides structure and helps bind ingredients
3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup extra sweetness; adjustable based on ripeness of bananas
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract enhances depth of flavor

For Optional Mix-Ins

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a greased or lined 9x5 inch loaf pan.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until mostly smooth, leaving a few lumps.
Mix in Greek yogurt, eggs, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Fold into wet ingredients.
Optionally fold in chopped walnuts or dark chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 55–65 minutes or until golden brown.
Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Ensure you use very ripe bananas and avoid overmixing for the best texture.
