Ingredients in Simple Banana Bread Recipe:
Bananas- bananas with spots are best. You can even use bananas with large spots-even bananas that are almost black in this best ever banana bread. The recipe calls for 3 bananas but I find it best to mash and measure the bananas to make sure you have the correct amount.
Sugar- regular granulated sugar works great.
Greek Yogurt- Any brand will do. Use vanilla or plain greek yogurt. I like to use non-sweetened greek yogurt.
Butter- Use melted butter, salted works great
Eggs- large eggs work great
Soda- baking soda, the regular Arm and Hammer baking soda works great.
Salt- Sea Salt is best.
Vanilla Extract- Pure vanilla extract
Flour- all-purpose flour, bleached or unbleached work great.
