DEE-LICIOUS GREEK YOGURT BANANA BREAD
After trying several recipes for banana bread that had some but not all of the things I wanted in it, I tweaked a few together and came up with this version with Greek yogurt. I made 8 loaves before declaring it a success (and the comments from family and coworkers sealed the deal).

THE BEST BANANA BREAD
The batter for this easy-to-make banana bread is enriched with sour cream, which gives it a subtle tang and super moist texture. In order to avoid this quick bread becoming tough and chewy, don't overmix the batter.

BEST BANANA YOGURT BREAD
This bread is different because I use banana-flavored yogurt and sliced bananas instead of mashed. The consistency is lighter, not dense - definitely different and delicious!

HEALTHIER YOGURT BANANA BREAD
This is an adaptation of Sour Cream Banana Bread which I posted, then found out it was a duplicate. The difference is you use yogurt instead of sour cream. You may use plain, or be adventurous and try vanilla, lemon, or your choice of flavors! Or go ahead and use sour cream if you wish. I even used part mayonnaise once in a pinch. For the nuts, use whatever nuts you wish. So here is the recipe,I hope you enjoy! I used to make this for the Colonial Pines Inn in Highlands, NC. It was always well received, and the customers could buy a loaf to take home, which they frequently did!

CLASSIC BANANA BREAD WITH YOGURT
I got this recipe from Cooking Light, but modified it to suite my needs (and the family's). My requirements were for it be lower in fat, healthier. My family's requirements was that it had to have chocolate chips. So we compromised and I came up with this alternative. I always cook my loaves in smaller loaf pans as they cook better and they cut easier when they are frozen. Leftover batter can be put in muffin tins.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt, stirring with a whisk.
- Place sugar and butter in a large bowl, and beat with a mixer at medium speed until well blended (about 1 minute).
- Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add banana, yogurt, and vanilla; beat until blended.
- Add flour mixture; beat at low speed just until moist. Spoon batter into an loaf pan coated with cooking spray.
- Bake at 350°F for 50 minutes to 1 hour (depending on size of loaf pans) or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.
- Cool 10 minutes in pan on a wire rack; remove from pan. Cool completely on wire rack.
Tips:
- Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bread will be.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense banana bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Let the batter rest: Letting the batter rest for a few minutes before baking allows the flavors to meld and the gluten to relax, resulting in a more tender banana bread.
- Bake the banana bread at a moderate temperature: Baking the banana bread at a moderate temperature helps to prevent the bread from drying out. The ideal oven temperature is 350°F (175°C).
- Don't overbake the banana bread: Overbaking the banana bread can result in a dry, crumbly bread. Check the banana bread for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If the toothpick comes out clean, the banana bread is done.
Conclusion:
Banana bread is a delicious and versatile quick bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dessert. It's also a great way to use up overripe bananas. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make a delicious loaf of banana bread that your family and friends will love.
