Buckwheat-Yogurt Banana Bread (Guilt-Free)

Recipe #367736 | 55 min | 15 min prep | add private note

By: Burgz
Apr 24, 2009

I came up with this recipe to use up some extra bananas and yogurt, but since I live alone, eating a whole banana bread to myself is... well... pure gluttony. So, to my great pleasure, there is no willpower needed here! I am very proud of how it came out. It is very moist and the buckwheat gives it a nice flavour. If you are used to regular store-bought over-sweetened cakes, I recommend you increase the amount of sugar in the recipe or, you can use these tricks: use over-ripened bananas (they are sweeter), use sweetened applesauce and/or vanilla yogurt instead of plain.

I loved this recipe - it has a wonderful light texture and buckwheat and banana are a meant-to-be combination. I put even less sugar in, substituting the sugar with 1/4 c. brown rice syrup while increasing the applesauce by 1/4 c. With the lower sugar this is great for breakfast and easy on sensitive stomachs.
