Cinnamon Banana Bread Recipe
Servings: 8-10
Ingredients:
* 3 large ripe bananas, mashed
* 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 tsp baking soda
* 1 tsp salt
* 1 tsp ground cinnamon
* 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
* 1/4 tsp ground cardamom
* 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
* 1 cup granulated sugar
* 2 large eggs
* 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
* 1 tsp vanilla extract
* Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the mashed bananas and vanilla extract.
5. With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
6. Stir in the Greek yogurt until smooth.
7. If using nuts, fold them into the batter.
8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
9. Bake for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
10. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
