Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 cup ripe bananas, mashed
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.33 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 0.25 cup heavy cream
  • 0.25 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1.5 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1.25 tsp baking powder
  • 0.5 tsp fine sea salt
  • 0.75 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 cup chopped walnuts optional

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and line with a parchment sling.
  • Whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a medium bowl.
  • Mash bananas in a large bowl. Whisk in granulated sugar and brown sugar until glossy.
  • Add yogurt, heavy cream, applesauce, and vanilla. Whisk until smooth.
  • Stream in melted butter while whisking to combine.
  • Fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture just until no dry streaks remain.
  • Fold in walnuts, if using. Scrape batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  • Bake 55–65 minutes, until a tester comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  • Cool in pan 15 minutes. Lift out, transfer to a rack, and cool completely before slicing.

Notes

For extra indulgence, swirl 3 tbsp softened cream cheese into the batter or sprinkle coarse sugar on top for crunch. Store tightly wrapped at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerate up to 5 days; warm slices briefly for the best texture.
