    Jump to Recipe Jump to Video Print Recipe

    If you're on the hunt for a delicious and healthier twist on the classic banana bread, this Banana Bread recipe without butter is no compromise. In this mouthwatering recipe, we'll show you how to create a moist and flavorful banana bread without the use of butter. Instead, we'll be incorporating creamy, tangy yogurt to add both moisture and a delightful richness to the bread.

    Instructions

    Follow these key steps and you'll have banana bread in no time!

    Someone placing very ripe, peeled bananas in a mixing bowl.

    Mash up the banana in a large bowl. Make sure to thaw them out completely if they were frozen.

    Someone placing a measuring cup of yogurt in a mixing bowl which contains banana and eggs.

    Blend the sugar, eggs, oil, vanilla, and yogurt, into the bananas.

    Someone using a hand blender to mix a batter inside of a mixing bowl.

    Use a whisk or a hand blender to mix the wet ingredients together.

    Someone sifting a flour mixture into a mixing bowl which contains wet ingredients.

    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.

    Someone stirring a batter for a banana bread recipe without butter.

    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.

    Ingredients
      

    • 4 large Bananas very ripe
    • ¾ cup Brown Sugar
    • 2 large Eggs room temperature
    • ¼ cup Canola Oil
    • ⅓ cup Plain Greek Yogurt
    • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

    Dry Ingredients

    • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
    • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
    • ½ teaspoon Baking Powder
    • ½ teaspoon Salt

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat your oven to 350F. Prepare the inside of a 8" x 4" loaf pan with non-stick spray.
    • Peel the brown bananas and place the insides in a large bowl and mash them well. You should have enough bananas to make up 1½ Cup. of If your bananas were in the freezer, make sure they are completely thawed out.
    • Add the rest of the wet ingredients to the mashed bananas. Whisk in the sugar and eggs first, then add the vanilla, yogurt and oil, mix well.
    • In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Fold the sifted dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until smooth.
    • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Level the dough in the pan by smoothing out the top with a rubber spatula. Place into the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If there still is batter on the toothpick, place back into the oven for 5-10 minutes until baked through.
    • Take the loaf out of the oven and let rest for 10-15 minutes before removing from the pan and slicing into it. Enjoy!
