Greek Yogurt, Oat Banana Bread

Banana bread is a fabulous, healthy snack – perfect for the cooler weather of December. The mashy bananas, creamy yogurt, and oats create a wonderful texture without the addition of butter or oil. This creative update is a healthy, delicious, delightful bite.

I have several banana bread recipes in my recipe book – one is from my grandma, dating back over a decade. Even so…this recipe has won over my heart with its updated ingredients and delicious, fragrant qualities.
