Greek Yogurt Banana Bread

Greek Yogurt Banana BreadWhen the weather starts to get cold, (it snowed here yesterday) I love to stay in my warm house and bake.  There’s nothing better than the smell of warm, fresh banana bread!

Lately, we’ve constantly had a bunch of overripe bananas sitting in the fruit bowl.  I usually buy our bananas at Costco, and I swear, they only have two stages — green and overripe.  No matter how green I buy them,  they are super ripe in just a couple days.  I think I need to take a break from buying them.  Give it some time.  Make bananas a novelty again.

With all those bananas, I end up making 4-6 loaves of banana bread every week.  I decided to try adding some greek yogurt to my basic recipe to up the protein a little bit, and it turned out amazing.  It makes the bread moist and delicious.  I’ve never had a dry, crumbly loaf since.  

This bread also freezes well.  I’ve also made it into muffins and put them in the freezer.  My kids can pop one in the microwave for 15-20 seconds for a quick breakfast.

I still want to experiment with making it with other types of flours.  I tried coconut flour but it was crumbly and didn’t hold together well.  I think I’ll try a mix of almond flour and oat flour next.  I’ll let you know how it goes.
