Banana Bread Recipe

This banana bread recipe is so easy. Certainly one you will want to flag to make with your kids. And if you are baking with kids – as I usually do – let them take turns measuring, pouring, and mixing…it’s a great way to develop hand/eye coordination.

And you can make this banana bread and freeze a loaf or both.

And if you are in the baking mood. I highly recommend trying my Orange Muffins or my Berry Burst Coffee Cake Recipe (yum to both!). My Healthy Muffins Chocolate Blueberry Qi’a recipe is a superfood charged muffin. And you can’t go wrong with my Madeleines Recipe – Recette Madeleines (perfect to send in school lunch – or snack on yourself during school hours!).

What is your favourite loaf/muffin?…

    Sounds delicious! My daughter loves banana bread, but mine is always dry and crumbly. So will have to try out this recipe

    this looks really good but I’m afraid I don’t like Banana bread, though everyone else seems to 🙂

    I’ve never heard of banana bread with yogurt but it totally makes sense. I imagine it would make it very moist. I think its very creative to add granola as a topping. Not only is it healthy but would add a crunchy texture and great taste. Thanks for this recipe!

    I adore banana bread but the regular recipe is pretty sugar heavy and carb heavy. This is a great compromise. Thanks

    I’ve always loved a good banana bread. Probably because it always tastes more like a pudding and it’s so healthy to. I’ll have to try your recipe Caroline, it sounds delicious
