Prep Time:15 minutes
Cook Time:55 minutes
Total Time:1 hour 10 minutes

Equipment

  • 1 Glass mixing bowl
  • 1 Wire wisk
  • 1 Potato Masher
  • 1 Loaf Pan
  • 1 spatula

Ingredients

  • 4 medium Bananas Over Ripe
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1½ teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • 1 cup Plain Greek Yogurt
  • ½ cup Unsalted Butter 1 stick
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar
  • 2 cups Self Rising Flour
  • ¾ cup ​Pecans Toasted

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Toast pecans in the oven on a cookie sheet for 3-5 minutes at 350*.
  • Spray loaf pan with pam cooking spray. Add in a sheet of parchment paper. Then spray the parchment paper with a little bit of cooking spray as well.
  • Peel the bananas and place them into a large mixing bowl. Using a potato masher or pastry cutter, mash the bananas until they are a liquid batter, but will still have lumps. We don't want any big pieces of bananas left, but small chunks are fine!
  • Add in the eggs and vanilla extract and mix well with whisk.
  • Add in the yogurt and melted butter and mix well with whisk.
  • Next add in the brown sugar and mix well.
  • Add in the self-rising flour and mix slowly to avoid spilling flour everywhere. This will be a thick batter once all the flour is incorporated.
  • Add in the toasted pecans and stir with a spatula to mix in all the pecans throughout the batter.
  • Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and smooth the top of the batter.
  • Bake in the oven at 350* for 55-65 minutes. If the top gets too brown before the loaf is done, place aluminum foil loosely over the top of the pan.
  • Let cool for 10-15 minutes, remove loaf from pan and enjoy!
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
