3 ripe bananas, mashed
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/4 cup milk
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, combine the mashed ripe bananas, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, Greek yogurt, and milk. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, gently fold the mixture until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are okay.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Slice and serve the Banana Muffin Rustic Bread as a delicious breakfast or snack.
