Whole Wheat Banana Bread
Bread is definitely one of our favorite foods. We aren’t talking about the processed and packaged bread that you will find in your local grocery store. We are talking about bread fresh from a bakery or better yet, your kitchen! This recipe is packed with healthy ingredients and features some of our favorite foods. The yogurt replaces the butter or oil and whole wheat flour is used in place of regular white all-purpose flour. These small exchanges result in a banana bread that actually tastes great and is great for you. We really enjoy smearing this bread with peanut butter…try it and let us know what you think!
