Banana Bread Recipe
By Natalie Dalpias of The Creative Mom
A while back, my brother shared some banana bread with me that was SO moist, dense, and delicious. Right then I knew I needed that recipe. When he told me he made the bread with his BLENDER, I didn't believe him. I thought there was no way you could make bread batter with a blender—but boy I was wrong! Not only can you make bread with a Blendtec blender, but also it’s SUPER easy and quick.
Since I learned about making bread batter with my Blendtec, I have put it to the test and have fallen in love with making all sorts of things like pancake batter, crepes, and even brownie or cake batter! This banana bread recipe is one of my very favorites—and I can whip it up in just a few minutes. No more mashing bananas, sifting flour, or whisking batter to try to get the lumps out.
My Blendtec takes care of all of that for me. It’s quick, easy, and a lot less messy than any bread recipe I've ever used. I usually whip up a few batches when I make it so I can deliver a hot loaf of bread to my neighbors or grandparents (and still keep a loaf for myself). This recipe is a crowd pleaser. I hope your family loves it just as much as mine does!
Banana Bread
Ingredients
2 ripe bananas (approx. 1 cup, mashed)
1⁄2 cup low-fat vanilla yogurt

11⁄2 cups all-purpose or whole wheat flour

1 tsp kosher salt
½ cup walnuts (optional)
½ cup chocolate chips (optional)
Directions

Hi Melissa,
This recipe really does call for 6 eggs.
Hi Leslie,
Yes, 6 eggs is correct. Seems a little overkill, but it works! :)
You can use Greek yogurt in place of the low-fat vanilla yogurt. It may change the flavor of the bread a little bit, but not much.
This recipe is excellent, the bread smells and tastes very good.
I’ve cooked this so many times, now even my son has learned how to cook it himself. He has used it as a snack or as a gift for any party he is invited to.
It’s so easy to make
Is that really meant to be six eggs!? Most banana bread recipes have one or two so I’m thinking maybe that’s a typo?
