  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Enhances the flavor.
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional) Adds warmth; can be omitted.
  • 1 pinch salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan well.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until mostly smooth, leaving a few small lumps if desired.
  3. Stir in the Greek yogurt and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Gradually add the self-rising flour, mixing gently until no dry flour remains.
  5. If using, stir in the cinnamon and pinch of salt until just combined.
  6. Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan and smooth the top.
Baking
  1. Bake for 45–50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  2. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For best results, use bananas that are heavily speckled. Wait until the bread is fully cooled before slicing to ensure a tender crumb.
