We’re big fans of Greek yogurt around here. We love it in everything from savory yogurt bowls to easy fro-yo!
Lately, we’ve been testing lots of baked goods with the addition of Greek yogurt. One of our favorite recipes so far is a new take on classic banana bread. We started with our favorite banana bread recipe and swapped in Greek yogurt for the buttermilk. Oh my, it is good!
Serve it up by the slice with a spread of butter or almond butter for the perfect pairing with coffee for breakfast, a snack or even dessert!

1/2 cup butter, softened

1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped walnuts, if desired

In a large bowl, stir butter and sugar until well mixed. Stir in eggs until well mixed. Stir in bananas, yogurt and vanilla; beat with spoon until smooth. Stir in flour, baking soda and salt just until moistened. Stir in walnuts. Pour batter evenly into prepared loaf pan.
