The Best Banana Bread

A short story about baking with bananas...

The Joy of Baking

A couple of years ago I was looking for the best recipe for Banana Bread. I found it.

Next, it was on to muffin recipes. I ended up baking Banana Crumb Muffins. Em and I loved them, but Eric didn't.

Cooking Light

Then I found a banana bread recipe from Cooking Light. Really? Intriguing! I used my favorite Greek Gods Honey yogurt (because I don't ever have plain yogurt kicking around in my fridge). So, here's their recipe for Classic Banana Bread, and here's what I did:

Banana Bread

My Version of the CL Classic Banana Bread

1 1/2 C Unbleached flour

1/2 C Whole wheat flour

1t Baking soda

1/2 t Salt

1 C sugar

1/4 C butter (soft/quasi melted)

2 eggs

3 over ripe bananas

1/3 C Honey yogurt

1 t Vanilla

1/2 C Walnuts (chopped)*

Turbinado sugar

Mix dry ingredients in a bowl. In a separate bowl mix the butter and sugar, add the eggs, bananas, yogurt and vanilla. Mix in the dry ingredients (don't over mix). Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and sprinkle with some of that "Tarantino" sugar. Bake until a toothpick test shows you it's baked thru.

PS: Did you see the cute pot holder? My sister Janel, made me 2 adorable patchwork pot holders for my birthday. I use them all of the time! ~Thank you Janel!~
