Banana Yogurt Bread~a great moist and tasty breakfast, snack, or dessert.

One of our family favorite snacks is banana bread.

Whenever we end up buying more bananas than we can consume in a timely manner, banana yogurt bread moves up to the top of the to-do list. I healthified and adapted it from Cooking Light to make two 9×5 loaves.

The Verdict: We love having banana yogurt bread around. I try to make it about once a month. The addition of yogurt adds moisture, vitamin D, calcium and more. Got to love it!

i’ve been using coconut oil in my baking as well. Sometimes the taste comes through. I bet that is delicious in banana bread. I will be trying this;]

We love banana bread and use butter in ours… it tastes wonderful, but I love the idea of the healthy coconut oil in it and I will have to try that. Thank you for sharing this. 🙂
