Recipe: Banana Bread With Vanilla Yogurt
Ingredients:
* 3 large ripe bananas, mashed
* 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 tsp baking powder
* 1/2 tsp baking soda
* 1/2 tsp salt
* 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
* 1 cup granulated sugar
* 2 large eggs
* 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt
* 1 tsp vanilla extract
* 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
* Confectioners' sugar, for dusting (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and set it aside.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
4. Beat in eggs one at a time, followed by mashed bananas and vanilla extract.
5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, beating until just combined. Do not overmix.
6. Stir in vanilla yogurt and chopped walnuts (if using).
7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
8. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cook Time: 55-60 minutes
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 70-75 minutes
Variations:
* Pecan Version: Replace chopped walnuts with 1/2 cup chopped pecans
* Cinnamon Swirl: Add 1 tsp ground cinnamon to the batter and create a swirl design on top with a mixture of 1 Tbsp granulated sugar and 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon before baking
* Chocolate Chip: Add 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips to the batter for a sweet and indulgent treat
* Gluten-Free Version: Replace all-purpose flour with 1 1/2 cups gluten-free flour blend
Tips:
* Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor and texture.
* Don't overmix the batter, as this can result in a dense loaf.
* If you want a crispy top, bake the loaf for an additional 5-10 minutes.
* Store the cooled bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
