\u00a0I ate some of it for breakfast with granola, but after 2 days of this I went in search of something I could make to use up the yogurt. \u00a0I found this recipe for banana bread on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thefreshloaf.com\/recipes\/betterbananabread\" target=\"_blank\">The Fresh Loaf<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I made two batches of the bread; one with chocolate chips and one without. \u00a0The bread is much more moist than other banana breads I&#8217;ve made, and not as dense. \u00a0The plain bread is just sweet enough, and is delicious toasted with a little spread of butter. \u00a0I would add some toasted pecans or walnuts next time. \u00a0The chocolate chip version was also tasty, but I prefer my banana bread without chocolate. \u00a0Call me crazy.<\/p>\n<h6>Yogurt Banana Bread<\/h6>\n<p>Ingredients<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1\/2 stick (4-5 tablespoons) butter, softened<\/li>\n<li>2 eggs<\/li>\n<li>2 or 3 very ripe bananas<\/li>\n<li>1 cup vanilla or plain yogurt (fat free is fine)<\/li>\n<li>2\/3 cup sugar<\/li>\n<li>1 teaspoon vanilla extract<\/li>\n<li>2 cups all-purpose unbleached flour<\/li>\n<li>3\/4 teaspoon salt<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 teaspoon baking soda<\/li>\n<li>1\/4 teaspoon baking powder<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)<\/li>\n<li>\u00bd cup chocolate chips (optional)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Directions<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Preheat oven to 350 F and grease and sugar a 9&#215;5 loaf pan.<\/li>\n<li>Cream together butter and sugar until creamy.<\/li>\n<li>Add in eggs, one at a time and mix well.<\/li>\n<li>Mix in yogurt and vanilla.<\/li>\n<li>In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking soda and powder and cinnamon if using.<\/li>\n<li>Stir flour mixture into wet ingredients a little a time, then stir in chocolate chips if using.<\/li>\n<li>Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 50-55 minutes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div id=\"wp_fb_like_button\" style=\"margin:5px 0;float:none;height:70px;\"><script src=\"http:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/all.js#xfbml=1\"><\/script><fb:like href=\"https:\/\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/blog\/2010\/08\/03\/yogurt-banana-bread\/\" send=\"false\" layout=\"standard\" width=\"400\" show_faces=\"true\" font=\"arial\" action=\"like\" colorscheme=\"light\"><\/fb:like><\/div><!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week I made pulled chicken BBQ sandwiches and made cole slaw as a side dish. \u00a0The cole slaw used \u00a0mostly plain yogurt and just a few tablespoons of mayo. \u00a0I had to buy a big container of plain yogurt since everything in the small containers was flavored. \u00a0What to do with an entire pint [&hellip;]<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[16,10],"tags":[247,44,390],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p51jE-18e","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4354"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4354"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4354\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4354"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4354"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4354"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
