The Twelve Days of Christmas Baking - Day 7: Nicole's Famous Banana Bread


Okay, so my Banana Bread may not really be famous, but I've been making this for literally years and have always received rave reviews from everyone who's tried it.  My three biggest fans are my husband and our two kids.

I started making this bread for my husband when we first began dating eleven years ago.  Through the years, I've tried different substitutions and variations of the recipe.  Some have been great while others have left me just shaking my head in wonder.  I've included all good substitutions and changes in the recipe.


The magic ingredient of this recipe is the vanilla yogurt.  The original recipe calls for sour cream, which makes for a delicious, moist bread, but the yogurt adds a little something extra - more vanilla flavoring without skimping on the moistness.

These are the changes I make to the recipe regularly:
1. Bake four small loaves instead of one large loaf.  (Bakes quicker and is the perfect size for snacks.)
2. Use vanilla yogurt in place of sour cream.
3. Use egg beaters instead of regular eggs.

I hope you enjoy this Banana Bread as much as my family does!
