Ingredients
•
1 cup all-purpose flour
•
1 cup whole wheat flour
•
1 teaspoon baking powder
•
1 teaspoon baking soda
•
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
•
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
•
3/4 cup dark brown sugar
•
2 tablespoons white sugar
•
2 eggs
•
1/2 cup olive oil

Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease and flour a 10x5-inch loaf pan.
2
Sift all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon together.
3
Beat brown sugar, white sugar, and eggs in a stand mixer or with a hand-held electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Reduce speed to low and slowly drizzle in olive oil until evenly combined. Beat in bananas, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract until combined. Fold in 1/3 of the flour mixture with a spatula; repeat twice more until flour is fully incorporated.
4
Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle walnuts and Demerara sugar over the top.
5
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes.
