"Flexible and quick, banana bread is usually on repeat in our house. I like to make this recipe in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, but it can also easily come together by hand. This is one of our favorite versions — spiced with Chai, Nyanza Vanilla Powder and a little extra Royal Cinnamon. I think it tastes even better the next day, but it never hangs around for too long in our kitchen."

Ingredients
8 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 eggs
⅓ cup full-fat plain Greek yogurt
4 medium (or 5 small) ripe bananas, peeled and mashed (about 2 cups)
1 ¾ cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
-
2 tsp Chai
-
¾ tsp Nyanza Vanilla Powder
-
½ tsp Royal Cinnamon (optional)
½ tsp fine salt
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9” x 5” loaf pan and set aside.
In a stand mixer or large bowl, combine the butter, brown sugar, eggs and yogurt, mixing until smooth. Add the mashed bananas and mix until combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, Chai, vanilla powder, cinnamon and salt.
Slowly add the dry ingredients into the banana mixture and mix until just combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl to fully incorporate. Be careful not to overmix.
Scrape the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
Bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes in the loaf pan, then turn the bread out of the pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool before slicing.
