One of my earliest childhood memories is of my mother's delicious banana bread. Today, I look forward to bananas turning soft and mushy on the counter just so that I have an excuse to make her recipe and relive a little joy of the past. This is a great banana bread that is soft and tender, has loads of banana flavor and crunchy toasted walnuts. My mom used plain yogurt in a lot of her baking, especially in her quick breads. I believe it is the addition of yogurt that makes her banana bread so moist and light.
gregoryrogers ,I made jumbo muffins and a mini loaf so I could freeze in portions whatever was not eaten immediately. I used about 1/2 cup of toasted pecans because that is what I had as well as 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips. I can't eat dairy so I used soy yogurt and earth balance butter substitute and it came out great.3y
kass956 ,So moist and delicious Omitted the nuts Substituted the sugar for 1/4 cup honey 1/4 maple syrup Added 2 tbsp of milled flax 1tsp ground cinnamon And added a extra egg4y
dianacusano ,Turned out very well, delicious. However I'd like to use less sugar (was sweeter than I'd like) and I am wondering how I can substitute honey in place of the sugar potentially.6y
adspeed ,I've made this recipe several times, and it is spot-on. Very moist and not too sweet. I may have cut a little bit of sugar out a couple times, I tend to use too much banana-- still tastes good every time. Thanks for sharing this recipe!!7y
a-dizzy1 ,I made this with no nuts 1/2 cup of strawberry yogurt and full cup of sugar. Also added 1.5tsp cinnamon. Best bananna bread ever, says everyone who tries. Our foil on for the last 25 mins.8y
curlsd ,Excellent banana bread, I cooked it without the nuts, the greek yogurt makes it nice and moist. It's even better when it is stored in the fridge.8y
zer0chick ,I am in Morocco and had to convert everything to guesstimates. I couldn't find baking soda, so that was left out, couldn't find vanilla, so I used vanilla yogurt instead of plain. I love cooking for my Moroccan friends, especially American foods they haven't yet tried. This was such a delight, & walnuts are so inexpensive over here's I I may have added too many. But great texture!8y
deena_beck_mccamey ,I made this yesterday, I used sour cream in place of the yogurt, it came out super moist. I highly recommend everyone looking for a banana bread recipe to use this one. ??????8y
manong ,First banana bread I made in my life, and it was just delicious! The recipe is easy and just perfect. I didn't use walnuts (I do not like any kind of nut) but I added chocolate chips and it was absolutely amazing!9y
mrspepperpot1 ,I usually make a Banana cake with my over ripe bananas and I felt like doing something different when I saw this recipe, Wow what a lovely cake/bread, it was so moist which to be honest I didn't think it would be and the true test was my husbands reaction and he loved it, he was happy because I could pack some in his lunch box and not have to worry about cream from the cake going everywhere, lol So I will be testing it on my Granddaughter's when they next come and see if they like it but I would definitely recommend this.9y
ciarafitz13 ,Delicious, easy recipe! I added some cinnamon and Chia seeds, it was so tasty.9y
healthymommy ,I always love this guys recipes! This was fantastic bread and my family enjoyed it! I love having dependable baking recipes as I hate fiddling with the oven (I'm more of a cook than a baker). So when I messed up the amount of butter I was super sad but it still turned out great! Will be making this a staple in our house!9y
adspeed ,I added less sugar and used brown sugar for mine. I love the yoghurt in this! A great recipe, thank you.9y
williameklund ,Instead of using melted butter, i break the solid butter up into little chunks so we get some variety in the flavor, my kids love it! This is an easy recipe and i look forward to making it again!9y
