Ingredients

  • 3-4 ripe bananas mashed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar lightly packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs room temperature
  • 1/4 cup plain greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 1 TBS cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease muffin tin or loaf pan and set aside
  • In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until melted. Continue to cook stirring frequently until it turns brown and smells slightly nutty. About 5 minutes. The butter is ready when bubbles or foam no longer appear when stirring and you'll notice a change in colour.
  • In a large bowl, combine butter and brown sugar, whisking until well combined. Add mashed bananas and 1 egg at a time mixing until fully incorporated. Add the vanilla and greek yogurt stirring to incorporate.
  • In a separate bowl or large measuring cup, combine the flour, salt, cinnamon and baking soda mixing with a fork to combine. Slowly add to the wet ingredients and whisk until fully incorporate.
  • Divide into muffin tins or pour in a loaf pan and bake 18-20 minutes for muffins and 50-60 minutes for a loaf.
  • Allow to cool slightly in the pan 1-2 minutes and transfer to a cooling rack to cool an additional 5 minutes.
