Banana bread experiment

[eve11]

I had two aging bananas and a container of yogurt that I wanted to use, so to wit:





Banana Bread
------------
2 very ripe bananas, mashed
1 c non-fat plain yogurt

2 c flour
3 tbsp butter, softened

1 egg

Soften butter. Cream together butter and sugar with a whisk, add egg. whisk together until smooth. Add bananas and yogurt and whisk until combined. Sift in flour+baking soda, add vanilla and spices. Pour into greased 9x5 pan. Bake on 350 about an hour, or until toothpick comes out clean.

It turned out pretty well, actually! I'm surprised.

How 'very ripe' do the bananas have to be? I only ask because once they develop multiple brown spots, the sight of them make me nauseous.

Which is strange because I love freshly made strawberry banana shakes.

But the recipe sounds delicious and I adore banana bread.

Well, the ones I used were over a week old. They'd turned pretty brown all along their peels. I suppose with banana bread you could use less ripe ones. I just usually make it when my bananas get too mushy for cereal or anything else.

Ah. Thank you. :D

I should be able to handle that. I'll probably get the ingredients tomorrow while I'm at the grocery store and try it next weekend.
