BEST BANANA YOGURT BREAD



Best Banana Yogurt Bread image

This bread is different because I use banana-flavored yogurt and sliced bananas instead of mashed. The consistency is lighter, not dense - definitely different and delicious!

WHOLE-GRAIN BANANA YOGURT MUFFINS



Whole-Grain Banana Yogurt Muffins image

Whole-wheat flour gives these muffins a rich, nutty flavor that's extra satisfying on fall days. Even though this recipe uses all whole-grain flour, the muffins stay light and tender in texture and delicate in taste. Combining the dry ingredients with a large proportion of wet - bananas, yogurt, oil and honey - keeps these from being dry and heavy. Plus, the acidity of yogurt and honey help mellow out the tannic taste of whole wheat. Because these muffins are so tender, their flat tops crack a bit instead of doming. You can adorn them and add crunch by sprinkling with oats, seeds, chopped nuts, grated coconut or cacao nibs before baking.

Categories     breakfast, brunch, quick breads, dessert

Time 30m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/4 cups/150 grams whole-wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup mashed ripe bananas (from about 2 large bananas)
1/2 cup/120 milliliters plain whole-milk yogurt
1 large egg
1/2 cup/110 grams packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup/60 milliliters neutral oil, such as grapeseed or canola
1/4 cup/60 milliliters honey
Old-fashioned oats, seeds, chopped nuts, grated coconut or cacao nibs, for sprinkling (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. Line a 12-cup standard muffin tin with paper liners or generously grease (with nonstick cooking spray or butter).
  • In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. In a medium bowl, whisk the bananas, yogurt, egg, brown sugar, oil and honey until just smooth.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and gently stir with a silicone spatula just until no streaks of flour remain. Divide the batter evenly among the muffins cups. Sprinkle on toppings if you'd like.
  • Bake until a toothpick inserted into a center muffin comes out clean, 20 to 23 minutes.
  • Cool in the tin on a rack for 5 minutes, unmold and cool completely or serve warm.

BANANA-BLUEBERRY MUFFINS WITH GREEK YOGURT



Banana-Blueberry Muffins with Greek Yogurt image

With blueberries in season, what better way to prepare them than to combine with a banana muffin base? The use of whole wheat flour and replacing much of the sugar in a traditional banana muffin recipe with natural sources like honey, Greek yogurt, and applesauce results in a moist, dense texture. These banana-blueberry muffins make a light, satisfying breakfast or dessert.

HEALTHIER YOGURT BANANA BREAD



Healthier Yogurt Banana Bread image

This is an adaptation of Sour Cream Banana Bread which I posted, then found out it was a duplicate. The difference is you use yogurt instead of sour cream. You may use plain, or be adventurous and try vanilla, lemon, or your choice of flavors! Or go ahead and use sour cream if you wish. I even used part mayonnaise once in a pinch. For the nuts, use whatever nuts you wish. So here is the recipe,I hope you enjoy! I used to make this for the Colonial Pines Inn in Highlands, NC. It was always well received, and the customers could buy a loaf to take home, which they frequently did!

CLASSIC BANANA BREAD WITH YOGURT



Classic Banana Bread With Yogurt image

I got this recipe from Cooking Light, but modified it to suite my needs (and the family's). My requirements were for it be lower in fat, healthier. My family's requirements was that it had to have chocolate chips. So we compromised and I came up with this alternative. I always cook my loaves in smaller loaf pans as they cook better and they cut easier when they are frozen. Leftover batter can be put in muffin tins.
