Ingredients

PIN IT

• 3 large ripe bananas (mashed)
• 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain, unsweetened)
• 2 large eggs
• 3 tbsp honey
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 ½ tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp cinnamon (optional but lovely)
• Pinch of salt

Optional Add-ins:

• ¼ cup chopped walnuts or pecans
• A handful of dark chocolate chips
• A few banana slices for topping

Tools You’ll Need

• Mixing bowl
• Whisk
• 8×8-inch baking dish or loaf pan
• Spatula

Substitutions

• Dairy-free: Use coconut yogurt instead of Greek yogurt.
• Sweetener: Maple syrup instead of honey works beautifully.
• Egg-free: Substitute 2 flax eggs for a vegan option.

How to Make Banana Greek Yogurt Cake

Step 1: Prep and Preheat

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2: Mash the Bananas

In a mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth and creamy.

Step 3: Add Wet Ingredients

Whisk in Greek yogurt, eggs, honey, and vanilla. Stir until fully combined — it should look silky and pale.

Step 4: Combine Dry Ingredients

Add baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Gently fold the mixture together until smooth (avoid overmixing).

Step 5: Pour and Bake

Pour the batter into your prepared pan. For that bakery-style golden top, bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean and the edges are slightly browned.

Step 6: Cool & Slice

Let it cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. It firms up as it cools, so be patient — it’s worth the wait!

What to Serve with Banana Greek Yogurt Cake

Serve this cake warm with a dollop of Greek yogurt and a drizzle of honey. Pair with a cup of homemade iced coffee or a chai latte for a dreamy afternoon snack.

Tips for Making It Perfect

• Use ripe bananas — the browner, the better! They add sweetness and moisture.
• Don’t overmix. This keeps your cake soft and fluffy.
• Bake on the middle rack. Helps it rise evenly.
• Add toppings halfway through baking if using banana slices or nuts to prevent burning.

Storage Instructions

• Refrigerate: Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
• Freeze: Wrap slices individually and freeze for up to 2 months.
• Reheat: Microwave for 15–20 seconds to bring back that fresh-from-the-oven texture.
