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.

Ingredients

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

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.
