Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork.
- Add the melted butter, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to the bowl with the mashed bananas. Mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in the Greek yogurt until fully incorporated into the batter.
- In a small bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, and cold cubed butter. Use your fingers or a fork to blend the ingredients until crumbly.
- Pour the banana bread batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle the oat streusel topping evenly over the batter.
- Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
- Remove the banana bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
