Instructions
Follow these key steps and you'll have banana bread in no time!
Mash up the banana in a large bowl. Make sure to thaw them out completely if they were frozen.
Blend the sugar, eggs, oil, vanilla, and yogurt, into the bananas.
Use a whisk or a hand blender to mix the wet ingredients together.
Sift the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. If you do not have a sifter, place the dry ingredients in a separate bowl and whisk the dry ingredients together before adding to the wet.
Mix the wet and dry ingredients together until just combined. Use a spatula in order to not overmix. If using a hand blender, be careful to not overmix.
Pour the batter into a greased 8"x4" loaf pan. You can also use a 9"x5" loaf pan but the baking time might be affected.
Substitutions
- Sugar - Use White Granulated sugar if you do not have Golden Brown Sugar
- Oil- Replace the Canola oil with any other neutral oil (sunflower, vegetable)
Storage
Slice the Banana Bread when it has cooled down. Wrap it with plastic or place it in an air-tight container. Keep at room temperature for 2-3 days. Make it last longer by keeping the sliced loaf in the freezer for up to a month. Take 1 or 2 slices out at a time and simply thaw it out in the microwave for a minute.
Enjoy with butter or margarine, even though the recipe does not contain any.
