Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt or sour cream
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions

Creating Easy Moist Banana Bread with Cinnamon is straightforward if you follow these steps:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Mash Bananas: In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork or potato masher until smooth.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: Add the yogurt, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix until well combined.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon until thoroughly blended.
  5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the bread tough.
  6. Add Nuts (Optional): If you are using nuts, fold them into the batter at this stage.
  7. Pour into Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  8. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool: Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Once you’ve completed these steps, you’ll have a tantalizing loaf of banana bread ready to enjoy.
