Time 1h15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¾ cup dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons white sugar
2 large eggs eggs
½ cup olive oil
1 ½ cups mashed banana
¼ cup whole-milk Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons chopped walnuts
1 tablespoon Demerara sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease and flour a 10x5-inch loaf pan.
  • Sift all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon together.
  • Beat brown sugar, white sugar, and eggs in a stand mixer or with a hand-held electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Reduce speed to low and slowly drizzle in olive oil until evenly combined. Beat in bananas, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract until combined. Fold in 1/3 of the flour mixture with a spatula; repeat twice more until flour is fully incorporated.
  • Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle walnuts and Demerara sugar over the top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes.
