Ingredients for Banana Yogurt Bread

  • All Purpose Flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Plain Nonfat Yogurt
  • 3 ripe medium bananas, mashed
  • ½ cup sugar substitute (e.g., Stevia, Erythritol) or ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ⅓ cup margarine, softened
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1 large egg

How to Make Banana Yogurt Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, mash the bananas. Add the yogurt, sugar substitute (or sugar), softened margarine, egg whites, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix well until combined.
  4. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  6. Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking at 60 minutes.
  7. 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

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
