Prep Time: 20 min

Total Time: 1 hour and 5 minutes

  • 3 over ripe Bananas / dark speckled bananas are yield a moist bread than fresh banana. I always buy fresh bananas and leave them in the fruits basket for 2 days until they over ripe and have dark speckles
  • 1/3 Cup Melted Butter
  • 3/4 Cup powdered granulated white Sugar
  • 1/4 yogurt / curd / Plain natural yogurt
  • 1 Teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 1 and 1/2 Cup All purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda

  • a pinch of ground nutmeg
  • 1 Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 Cup roughly chopped walnuts
  • 1/2 Cup Chocolate chips

1. Preheat Oven to 180C. Grease one loaf pan with butter and set aside
2. In a mixing bowl mash 3 banana. You can use potato masher to mash banana. Then Add melted butter and sugar and mix everything together with a spatula or wooden spoon until sugar dissolves
3. Add 1/4 cup yogurt and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and mix everything together
4. In a separate bowl add all purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg and salt and mix
5. Add dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until there are no lumps

    1. Hi Kat , Sorry for the delayed response. I used granulated white sugar. I added the granulated white sugar in a food processor and powdered it finely. Hope this helps.
