Ingredient notes
Flour: Regular or white whole wheat flour both work. You can also use half whole wheat and half white. If you’re not looking for a whole grain bread, please go take a look at my Cinnamon Swirl Banana Bread recipe. It’s out of this world delicious!
Greek yogurt: I used plain Greek yogurt, low fat. Any fat content works, but I do recommend sticking to plain Greek yogurt.
Oil: Use a neutral vegetable oil. You can also use melted butter instead of oil.
Cornstarch: The cornstarch helps to yield a fluffy bread when baking with whole wheat flour. If you don’t have any you can replace it with white flour.
Recipe tips
Only fold the wet and dry ingredients together until just combined. Do not overmix, or you’ll have a dense and gummy banana bread.
Use a spatula or wooden spoon to combine the batter. Do not use a whisk, or you’ll overmix the batter!
Make sure to use very ripe bananas! If you use under-ripe bananas, your bread will not be sweet or flavorful enough.
