Prep time: 20 min
Cook time: 45 min
Total time: 1 h 5 min
Ingredients: 1 teaspoon baking soda; 2 cups white sugar; ½ cup white sugar; ½ cup packed brown sugar; ½ teaspoon salt; 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon; 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour; 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract; 4 eggs; 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon; 1 cup butter, melted; ¼ cup all-purpose flour; 3 tablespoons butter, softened; ¾ cup chopped walnuts (Optional); 3 large very ripe bananas, mashed; 1 cup plain Greek yogurt; 2 apples, cubed; banana slices for garnish; apple slices for garnish

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease two 7x3-inch loaf pans.

Step 2

In a bowl, whisk together 2 3/4 cups of flour, 2 teaspoons of cinnamon, the baking soda, and salt until thoroughly combined. In a separate mixing bowl, beat the melted butter with 2 cups of sugar until smooth, and mix in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the Greek yogurt and vanilla extract. Stir in the flour mixture just until incorporated.

Step 3

Fold in the bananas, apples, and chopped walnuts until combined; do not overmix. There should be small chunks of banana visible in the batter. Pour half the batter into each prepared loaf pan.

Step 4

Mix the brown sugar, 1/2 cup of white sugar, 1 tablespoon of cinnamon, 1/4 cup of flour, and 3 tablespoons of softened butter together in a bowl until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle half the crumb topping over each loaf. Garnish each loaf with banana and apple slices.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, then remove and cover each pan with aluminum foil. Return to oven, and bake an additional 15 or 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaves comes out clean. Allow to cool before serving.
