How to Make Banana Nut Bread With Yogurt And Whole Wheat Flour

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x4x2-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon baking powder. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together ¾ cup granulated sugar and 1 cup plain yogurt using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and ½ cup milk, mixing until smooth after each addition.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 ½ cups mashed ripe bananas, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 60-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
