How to make super moist banana bread with yogurt?

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2/3 cup caster sugar

  • ½ cup plain yogurt or Greek yogurt

Instruction to bake banana bread with yogurt

Step 1: Prep and Preheat

Before we dive into the batter, let's set the stage. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and set it aside. Sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. This will ensure a smooth and evenly distributed mixture.


 Step 2: Creaming the Butter and Sugar

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. You can use an electric mixer or hand-mixed will do. Let the butter and sugar become light and fluffy.

 

Step 3: Eggs and Vanilla

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract until it's all nicely combined.

 

Step 4: Mashing and Mixing

Grab those overripe bananas and give them a good mashing with a fork. Add the mashed bananas, yogurt, and dry ingredients (from Step 1) into the mixing bowl. Stir everything together until you have a smooth, luscious batter. If you're feeling adventurous, toss some chopped walnuts or pecans for an extra crunch.

 

Step 5: Baking Time!

Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. Give the pan a gentle tap on the countertop to remove any air bubbles. Now, pop it into the preheated oven and let the magic happen. Bake for approximately 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Your kitchen will soon be filled with the irresistible aroma of freshly baked banana bread.

 


Step 6: Cool and Savor

Once the timer goes off and your banana bread has achieved a beautiful golden-brown color, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely. As tempting as it may be, wait until it's thoroughly cooled before slicing into it.

 


Step 7: Enjoy the Bliss!

Cut yourself a thick slice of this moist and flavorful banana bread, grab a cup of coffee or tea, and indulge in a little slice of heaven. The yogurt adds a delightful tang and extra moisture, making each bite even more satisfying.

The ultimate banana bread recipe with a twist. The addition of yogurt takes this classic treat to new heights, delivering a moist texture and enhancing the flavors of ripe bananas. So, the next time you find yourself with some overripe bananas, don't hesitate to whip up this delightful bread. It's perfect for breakfast, snack time, or any time you're craving a delicious homemade treat. Happy baking!
