Yumalicious! Easy recipe to master. Instead of plain yogurt and vanilla extract, I used banana yogurt which just added more flavor.

It was quite delicious although I think I'll cut the amount of sugar next time and we used low fat yogurt and Smart Balance Butter and it still came out excellent! Next time I want to cut the sugar and try fat free yogurt. I also cut the baking time to 1 hour ten min. for one loaf in a 9x5 glass loaf pan.

Just tried this recipe, and it is delicious! I've been looking around for a good banana bread recipe, and this is the best I've found so far. Thank you!

I've been using a ton of yogurt in my cooking cuz it's so good for you and so I searched for a recipe like this one. I doubled the recipe and the only thing is that 80 minutes was a little too long. I actually took them out at @ 70 minutes and they were already dark. Next time I will watch them closer and take them out @ about 60 minutes. Beside the darker edges, the bread is awesome!! I added 1/2 tsp of nutmeg and 1 tsp of cinn. to the batch and they are fabulous. I will always use this recipe!!
