I love banana bread but finding a recipe without dairy for my dairy-sensitive kids can sometimes present quite a challenge. When I ran across this recipe for banana bread without a trace of butter or heavy cream, I was overjoyed.
Ingredients:
2 eggs
1/3 cup vanilla yogurt
½ cup vegetable oil
1 cup ripe mashed bananas
1 ½ cups white sugar
½ cup brown sugar
½ tsp vanilla extract
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
*we add walnuts {approx. 1/3 cup chopped walnuts} to ours and enjoy the texture and taste
Directions:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees and prepare chosen pan.
Blend together the eggs, yogurt, oil, extract and bananas in mixer with low speed.
Add in sugars and fully incorporate. Then add flour, baking soda, and salt and mix until just combined.
Pour into prepared pan and bake 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
(Be sure to start checking your banana bread at 45 minutes. I have had it be done in 50 minutes or heard that it can take as much as 75 minutes. It just depends on the accuracy of your oven.)
Enjoy this warm and cozy recipe on a cool Fall day!
