How to Make Healthy Banana Cinnamon Greek Yogurt Banana Bread

PIN IT

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your loaf pan with parchment paper and lightly grease the sides.

Step 2: Mash the Bananas

In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. The riper they are, the sweeter your bread will be.

Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients

Add Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and creamy. The mixture should look silky and lightly golden.

Step 4: Add Dry Ingredients

Stir in cinnamon, oat flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix gently until just combined. Don’t overmix—this keeps the bread soft and tender.

Step 5: Fold in Chocolate Chips

Gently fold in the chocolate chips. Save a few to sprinkle on top because presentation matters!

Step 6: Bake

Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle remaining chocolate chips over the surface.

Bake for 40–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 7: Cool and Slice

Let the bread cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing. The aroma of cinnamon and banana will test your patience—but it’s worth it!
