Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. (5 minutes)

03

Step

In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat brown sugar, white sugar, and eggs until light and fluffy. (5 minutes)

04

Step

With the mixer on low speed, gradually drizzle in olive oil until combined. Beat in mashed bananas, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract until just combined. (3 minutes)

05

Step

Gently fold in the dry ingredients in three additions, mixing until just combined after each addition. Do not overmix. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle walnuts and Demerara sugar evenly over the top. (2 minutes)

07

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. (60 minutes)

08

Step

Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. (10 minutes)

For best results, use very ripe bananas – the browner, the better!
Feel free to substitute sour cream for Greek yogurt for a tangier flavor.
Toasting the walnuts before chopping enhances their flavor.
Store cooled bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

    The Demerara sugar on top gives it the perfect crunch. My family devoured it!

    I substituted applesauce for half of the olive oil and it turned out great! A bit lighter and still delicious.
