Buckwheat-Yogurt Banana Bread (Guilt-Free) image

I came up with this recipe to use up some extra bananas and yogurt, but since I live alone, eating a whole banana bread to myself is... well... pure gluttony. So, to my great pleasure, there is no willpower needed here! I am very proud of how it came out. It is very moist and the buckwheat gives it a nice flavour. If you are used to regular store-bought over-sweetened cakes, I recommend you increase the amount of sugar in the recipe or, you can use these tricks: use over-ripened bananas (they are sweeter), use sweetened applesauce and/or vanilla yogurt instead of plain.

Time 55m

Yield 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup margarine
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 bananas, mashed (I like to whip mine with a stick blender so they are nice and frothy, with no lumps)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup buckwheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup plain yogurt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • In a bowl, cream the applesauce and the margarine with the sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing between each addition. Add bananas.***.
  • In another bowl, sift flours with baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add to previous preparation, alternating with the yogurt. Stir just to to mix.
  • Pour into a greased 9 x 13 cake pan and bake 40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • ***If you have a stand mixer, set it on a high speed and let it run while you do the next step.

I've made this bread a few times now, and it's always a hit. I often add a cup of chocolate chips or dried cranberries for a fun twist.

I'm allergic to bananas, so I substituted mashed avocado. The bread still turned out delicious, and my family loved it.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I reduced the amount of sugar and it turned out perfect. I also added a handful of chopped walnuts for extra flavor.

I wasn't sure how I would like banana bread made with buckwheat flour, but it turns out buckwheat flour is an excellent substitute for wheat flour. The bread was moist and flavorful.
