HEALTHIER YOGURT BANANA BREAD



Healthier Yogurt Banana Bread image

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!

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 BANANA BANANA BREAD



Healthier Banana Banana Bread image

This recipe was really yummy to start with but I was looking for something a little healthier so I replaced some butter with non-fat yogurt and I eliminated the salt. It is super moist and tastes great.

Provided by MakeItHealthy

Categories     Bread     Quick Bread Recipes     Fruit Bread Recipes     100+ Banana Bread Recipes

Time 1h20m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ cup butter
⅛ cup nonfat plain yogurt
¾ cup brown sugar
2 eggs, beaten
2 ⅓ cups mashed overripe bananas

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  • Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Beat butter, yogurt, and brown sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy. The mixture should be noticeably lighter in color. Add room-temperature eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to blend into butter mixture before adding the next. Stir in mashed bananas until well blended. Pour banana mixture to flour mixture; stir just to moisten. Transfer batter into prepared loaf pan.
  • Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into center of loaf comes out clean, 60 to 65 minutes. Let bread cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto wire rack to cool completely.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread will be.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a loaf pan that is at least 9x5 inches: A smaller loaf pan will make the bread too thick and dense.
  • Bake the bread at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 1 hour: Check the bread after 50 minutes to see if it is done. It is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This will help the bread to hold its shape and prevent it from crumbling.

This healthier yogurt banana bread recipe is a delicious and nutritious way to enjoy your favorite breakfast food.
