Dee-licious Greek Yogurt Banana Bread
Share recipe
Description
After trying several recipes for banana bread that had some but not all of the things I wanted in it, I tweaked a few together and came up with this version with Greek yogurt. I made 8 loaves before declaring it a success (and the comments from family and coworkers sealed the deal).
Ingredients
- 2 cups mashed bananas
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- ¾ cup butter
- ⅔ cup white sugar
- ⅔ cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup oat flour
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
Directions
- 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 9x5-inch loaf pans.
- 2. Mix mashed bananas and yogurt together in a bowl.
- 3. Combine butter, white sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl; beat using an electric mixer until creamy. Add eggs and vanilla extract and stir to combine. Add banana mixture and mix well.
- 4. Stir flour, oat flour, rolled oats, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Add to the banana-butter mixture and stir just until combined. Don't overmix. Fold chocolate chips and walnuts into the batter. Divide batter between the prepared pans.
- 5. Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes. Remove from the oven and cover loosely with aluminum foil for 5 minutes. Remove from the pans and allow to cool completely.
