Ingredients

2 large ripe bananas
2 large eggs
1/3 cup melted butter or olive oil 80g
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt 120g
1 1/2 cups self-rising flour 225g
Optional: 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional: 1 heaping tablespoon honey
Optional: 1/3 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat the oven and prepare the pan:

Preheat the oven to 350°F (170°C). Grease a 9x5 inch (23x12 cm) loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.

Mash the bananas:

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas using a fork until mostly smooth. A few small lumps are fine.

Combine the wet ingredients:

Add the eggs, melted butter (or olive oil), Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract (if using) to the mashed bananas. Whisk until the mixture is well combined. If desired, add honey for additional sweetness.

Add the dry ingredients:

Gently fold the self-rising flour into the wet mixture using a spatula or whisk. Mix just until the flour is fully incorporated—do not overmix.

Incorporate chocolate chips (optional):

If including chocolate chips, fold them evenly into the batter.

Transfer to loaf pan and bake:

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle with additional chocolate chips if desired. Bake for 60 to 75 minutes, or until a toothpick or knife inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.

Cool before serving:

Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for approximately 10–15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve as desired.

Notes

To make this recipe gluten-free, substitute the self-rising flour with a gluten-free self-rising flour blend. Alternatively, use a gluten-free all-purpose flour and add 2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Ensure all other ingredients, including baking powder and yogurt, are certified gluten-free.
