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!
