Method
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease and flour a loaf pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas thoroughly.
- Add the softened butter and sugar to the mashed bananas and mix until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the Greek yogurt until everything is well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined and the batter is smooth. Be careful not to overmix.
- Pour the banana bread batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Dollop spoonfuls of dulce de leche over the batter. Use a spoon or fork to gently swirl the dulce de leche into the batter, creating a marbled effect.
- Bake for approximately 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the bread cool completely in the pan before removing.
- Slice and serve this delicious banana bread.
💡 Tips
- Ensure your bananas are very ripe for the best flavor and sweetness.
- Do not overmix the batter after adding the dry ingredients; this can lead to a tough cake.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing to prevent it from crumbling.
