A very easy quick bread to make, healthy and increidly moist thanks to the oilve oil and Greek yoghurt. I flavoured the bread with cardamom, cinnamon and ginger powder, but you can also use your favourite spices, like nutmeg or allspice. Chopped hazelnuts were added for extra crunch, feel free to use other nuts or chocolate. If you want to use honey or maple syrup instead of raw sugar, then reduce the olive oil to 80 ml as honey and maple syrup add a lot of moisture to the batter. This recipe is very versatile and forgiving, so you can easily adapt it to suit your own taste.

  • 180 g All-purpose flour
  • 1/3 tsp Cardamom powder
  • 1/3 tsp Cinnamon powder
  • 1/3 tsp Ginger powder
  • 1 tsp Baking powder
  • 1/3 tsp Salt
  • 100 g Raw sugar
  • 80 g Hazelnuts, chopped
  • 2 Very ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 Eggs, medium
  • 50 g Greek-style yoghurt, full fat
  • 100 ml Olive oil
  1. Preheat the oven to 175/350FC. Lightly grease a 10cm x 20cm loaf pan and line base and sides with parchment paper.
  2. Sift flour, cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, baking powder, and salt into a bowl with the raw sugar, then add in the chopped hazelnuts.
  3. In a separate bowl, mash the bananas with a fork, then stir in the eggs, yoghurt and olive oil. Add into the dry ingredients and gently stir together until they're just combined - don't overmix.
  4. Scrape the batter into prepared pan. Place in the oven and bake for 50 minutes until golden brown and a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Cool the loaf in pan 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool. Slice and enjoy!

I just ate the last of the banana bread I made a while ago so need to make some again soon. I love all the spices and olive oil in your recipe, Angie! And nuts are a must for me in banana bread :)

I could never get sick of banana bread! It's just so delicious and there is something comforting about it (probably because it makes me think of my grandmother). I love my 'nana bread with nuts, but I've never tried hazelnuts in it! LOVE that idea! Can't wait to try this!

I've used yogurt and bananas in my oat muffins before; muffins were perfectly moist and dense :D next time, I have to try using flour instead of oats to make a bread like this

As always, this bread looks stunningly perfect. And, as always, it is loaded with interesting twists and turns: cardamom, ginger, hazelnuts, Greek-style yoghurt, olive oil ... with ingredients like these, I'm sure this is one hell of a banana bread!

Such warm spices into that amazing looking banana bread! I am surely pinning this up and making it for myself, with or without the hazelnuts!

I've made so many versions of banana bread, you wouldn't think there were any more left. But you've come up with another fabulous recipe and a combination I most certainly haven't tried. Sounds gorgeous.
