HEALTHIER BANANA BANANA BREAD
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.

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.

HEALTHY BANANA NUT BREAD
This is the best Banana Nut Bread I have ever had and it is healthy for you. I used my Bread Maker but next time I am going to try and just bake it in a loaf pan. I am also going to try and use a little bit less sugar. I also used a unbleached white/multi-grain flour which I purchased at Costco. This recipe was adapted from another recipe on Recipezaar to be healthier. It is a good basic recipe that you can alter to create your own.

Tips:
- Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bread will be. You can use overripe bananas with brown spots for an extra boost of sweetness.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will result in a tough, dense banana bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use a loaf pan that is at least 9x5 inches: A smaller loaf pan will result in a very dense banana bread. If you only have a smaller loaf pan, you can reduce the recipe by half.
- Bake the banana bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This usually takes about 45-50 minutes. However, baking time may vary depending on your oven, so keep an eye on the banana bread and adjust the baking time accordingly.
Conclusion:
This heart-healthy banana bread is a delicious and nutritious way to start your day or enjoy as a snack. It's made with whole wheat flour, oats, and Greek yogurt, so it's packed with fiber and protein. Plus, it's sweetened with honey instead of sugar, so it's a healthier choice than traditional banana bread. So next time you're looking for a tasty and healthy breakfast or snack, give this heart-healthy banana bread a try!
