I was so excited when my banana bread experiment was a SUCCESS!!! My husband laughs at me because I replace everything with Greek Yogurt when I am baking, cooking, and preparing foods. Anything that calls for butter, mayonnaise, sour cream, cream, the list goes on. I decided I would make a banana bread without butter, using non-fat Greek yogurt as its replacement and see how it turned out.
The Greek yogurt and ripened banana made this bread so flavorful and moist, the pecans and walnuts added an extra crunch. This is a must try for everyone who loves banana bread but doesn't love the added calorie guilt that most breads come with.
*If you are allergic to dairy products instead of Greek yogurt you can use apple sauce.
You will need:
4-5 ripe bananas
3/4 cup of sugar
3/4 cup of Non-fat Greek yogurt
2 eggs
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2/3 cup chopped walnuts and pecans
1. Preheat oven 350 degrees
2. Grease baking dish
3. In a medium bowl, mix dry ingredients, whisk to combine and then add your chopped nuts
4. Beat eggs and sugar together until creamy
5. Mash the banana and non-fat Greek yogurt together
6. Fold dry ingredients into the wet ingredients
7. Pour into the baking dish and place in the oven
8. Bake for 45-60 min
(Every ones oven is different, your bread is done when the tester stick comes out clean)
Cool for 10 minutes and enjoy with coffee or tea!!
