I’m very passionate about what I feed my family. They love it when I make them home made and healthy foods to snack on. It is also fun to get them involved in kitchen as well. Banana bread is a staple at our house when we have bananas to use up.
I start with at least 3 ripe bananas. Peel and mash away.
The Best - Stoneyfield Yogurt!
My next favorite ingredient to bake and cook with is Stoneyfield Yogurt. It’s organic, wholesome and very delicious. I feel good knowing there are no hormones or artificial colors in their products. I’m a butter girl, so I always bake with organic butter…again the rBGH hormone factor for me.
My Flour!
Another great ingredient I use to bake with is King Arthur Flour. This one is unbleached and whole grain, a very important choice. To get used to it, you can start baking with 1/2 white flour and 1/2 whole wheat flour. This brand is very light and bakes well. The kids won’t even know!
Yum!
I almost didn’t get this picture! We inhaled most of it before I realized I needed an finished shot!
So, here is the receipe….
1 c. sugar (organic raw if you choose)
1/4 c. butter
3 mashed bananas
1/3 c. vanilla yogurt
1/4 c. milk
2 large eggs
2 c. whole wheat flour
1 t. baking soda
1/2 t. salt
Combine sugar and butter. Add banana, milk, yogurt and eggs. Add flour, baking soda and salt. Add nuts if desired. I really like pecans. I’m the nut so I’ve always got some nuts on hand!
Bake at 350 degrees about 40-50 minutes.
It is always fun to share my DIY stuff with Kimba’s readers.

I made a similar banana bread recipe the other day. http://tinyurl.com/yz5cckg Like yours, I used a mix of whole wheat and white flours. Hadn’t done that before and I was surprised how I liked the nuttier wheat taste much better than breads with only white flour. Your recipe uses yogurt rather than oil like mine. I’m going to try that the next time I bake banana bread. Your bread looks moist so it obviously didn’t suffer from lack of oil. I added a twist to my recipe and threw in a 1/2 cup of sweetened, shredded coconut. This was a definite plus to the bread because my family loves coconut.
