Yogurt Banana Bread

Oh my!  This has to be my favorite banana bread that I have made yet!  It is so good!  Based off the Better Banana Bread recipe, this version of banana bread uses vanilla yogurt and spent grain to give this old time favorite quick bread a delicious twist that is moist and sweet.  So good!

Yogurt Banana Bread (yields: 1 loaf)
1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1/2 c. spent grain flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. cinnamon

4 tbsp. butter, softened
2 eggs
3 very ripe bananas
1 c. vanilla yogurt
2/3 c. sugar

Grease a loaf 9x5" loaf pan.  Set aside.

Preheat oven to 350F.

In a large bowl, mix dry ingredients together.

In another bowl, add the butter, eggs, bananas, yogurt, and sugar.  Mash with a potato masher till everything is combined and bananas are now only small chunks. 

Pour banana mixture into flour mixture and mix just until everything is moistened.

Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.  Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes or until top is browned and when a toothpick is inserted in the middle of loaf, it comes out clean.

Let cool in pan for 5-10 minutes and then transfer to wire rack.

Serve warm or completely cooled.... either way, it is good!

Enjoy!
