Equipment

  • Loaf pan
  • Mixing Bowls
  • measuring jug

Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup mashed bananas Ripe, with brown spots
  • ¾ cup sugar Can reduce to ⅓ – ½ cup for a less sweet version
  • ⅓ cup oil
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cups whole wheat flour See notes for substitutes
  • ¼ cup cornstarch Or more whole wheat flour
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

For the Crumb Topping

  • ½ cup flour Plain or whole wheat
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ cup butter Cold, not melted

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Heat the oven to 360°F. Grease and line a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  • For the crumb topping, place the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Rub in the butter with your fingertips until crumbs form. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Add all dry ingredients to a large mixing bowl. Stir together until well combined.
  • Stir together all wet ingredients in a separate large measuring jug until well combined.
  • Pour wet into dry ingredients and fold together just until flour is moistened (a few lumps are fine). Place the batter in the prepared loaf tin and evenly sprinkle with the crumb topping.
  • Bake for around 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove to a wire cooling tray to cool completely.

Notes

Banana bread keeps quite well. Wrap it tightly in foil or stick it into an airtight container to keep it moist. Store in the fridge for up to 5 days. For freezing, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil, can freeze for up to 3 months.
