Greek Yogurt Banana Bread

Greek yogurt banana bread is a delicious quick bread recipe!

Greek Yogurt Banana Bread from Coffee With Us 3

My kids love bananas, but oftentimes I buy more than we actually eat. It seems like either we have way too many, or we run out and I have to run to the store again!  So when bananas go bad, I simply pull off the peel and throw the banana in a freezer bag in the freezer, and when I get enough I make Greek Yogurt Banana Bread!

For Greek Yogurt Banana Bread, I’ve just taken a basic banana bread recipe (this one from Betty Crocker), and tweaked the ingredients a bit to use Greek yogurt. I hope you like it!

And if you love the idea of using Greek yogurt in your bread recipes, then you’ll definitely want to come back tomorrow when Lucy shares her recipe for Lemon Berry Greek Yogurt Bread.

[…] and I thought it would taste amazing as a bread.  So I decided to try it!  I also made banana nut bread just in case it didn’t turn out well but it turns out I didn’t need the backup, though […]

My kiddo has decided he doesn't like our current banana muffin recipe so this might be a good one to try! I like how it doesn't have eggs, then I don't have to be so careful when I'm mixing it up not to touch anything else until I wash my hands with soap and water.

Oh my goodness, Skye, I am SO glad you commented! There is supposed to be 2 eggs in the recipe! I fixed it and I am SO sorry if anyone tried baking this without the eggs!
