  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven:

    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

  2. Mix Dry Ingredients:

    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

    • Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

  5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:

    • Mix in the mashed bananas and Greek yogurt (or sour cream) until well combined.

  6. Fold in Dry Ingredients:

    • Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.

  7. Add Nuts (Optional):

    • If using chopped nuts, gently fold them into the batter.

  8. Bake:

    • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
    • Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

  9. Cool and Serve:

    • Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

  10. Enjoy:

    • Slice and enjoy your delicious Monk Fruit Banana Bread plain or with a spread of butter or cream cheese.
