Instructions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Premix the Greek yogurt (so all of the fruit on the bottom of the container is completely mixed into the yogurt).
Mash the bananas with a fork.
Lightly beat the eggs.
Stir the Greek yogurt, bananas, eggs and vegetable oil together.
Mix in remaining ingredients. Stir until the batter is fully mixed. Don't overmix.
Optional - If you want to enhance this Greek yogurt banana bread, you can stir in a cup of your family's favorite dessert ingredient (i.e. chocolate chips or chopped walnuts) after you have mixed the batter.
Pour the finished batter into a nonstick bread pan. Smooth out the top of the batter within the bread pan.
Bake in the oven for 60-65 minutes or until golden brown.
Take bread pan out of the oven and let the banana bread cool down in the bread pan for 10 minutes. Use oven mitts as the bread pan will be very hot coming out of the oven.
Do not remove the banana bread from the bread pan during this 10 minute cool down period. This finishes the baking process.
After 10 minutes, remove the banana bread from the bread pan. Place the banana bread on a wire cooling rack in order to completely cool. This cool down may take 1-2 hours. Gently slide a silicon spatula between the banana bread and the bread pan walls if the banana bread is stuck in the pan.
