  •  Prep time: 
  •  
  •  Serves: 4 people
  •  Yields: Makes one 9"X5" Bread Loaf
Ingredients
  • 2 ripe Bananas, see Tips
  • 2 large Eggs, see Tips
  • 1/2 cup fat free Greek Yogurt, whisked see Tips
  • 3/4 cup Organic Whole Sugar, see Tips
  • 1/4 cup Coconut Oil, melted
  • 3/4 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1-1/2 cups organic unbleached All Purpose Flour, see Tips
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1 tsp Sea Salt or Kosher Salt
Tips
1. Banana: I have used frozen Bananas in this recipe. You would need enough bananas to make approximately 1 cup mashed. 

2. Eggs: If possible, try to opt for Organic, Pasture Raised Eggs for optimal nutrition (and flavor). If Eggs are not your thing [Vegan/Egg Free Diet], check my Egg Substitution Chart. You can also opt to make other Egg free Banana breads like - Vegan Banana Bread RecipeBanana Blueberry BreadBanana Coconut Bread,Banana Walnut BreadBanana Cardamom (Yeast) Bread.

3.Yogurt: You can substitute regular yogurt as well. Or try Vanilla Yogurt as given in the original recipe. If using it, use ONLY 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract.

4. Sugar: You can use regular granulated sugar as well. I used this Organic Whole Sugar

5. Flour: You can use Whole Wheat flour instead or do a half wheat and half white. Using Whole wheat Pastry flour, I find, works great as well.
Method
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mash the banana well until smooth.
2. Add the next 5 ingredients to the banana in a bowl.
3. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
4. Sift the flour, baking soda and salt together .
5. Add it to the banana mixture and very gently fold it into the batter.
6. Do not overbeat it.
7. Pour the batter into a greased 9" X 5" loaf pan
8. and bake for 50 to 60 minutes
9. or until the center, when inserted with a knife (or a toothpick) comes out clean.
10. Cool for about 10 min in the pan, turn it out on a cooling rack and let it sit for another 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve it warm (or as it is) with some butter. Perfect breakfast bread as well although if you ask me, I can it eat it any time of the day. :)Breakfast Bread Recipe | Classic Banana Nut Bread
