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.
