Healthy Banana Bread
This delicious banana bread recipe is healthier because plain yogurt is used to substitute some of the oil you would need on a traditional banana bread recipe. The bread is moist, full of flavor, and perfect as a snack or as part of your breakfast.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup sugar granulated
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 6 oz plain yogurt low-fat

- 2/3 cup water
- 4 large bananas pureed
