Rich, moist, sweet and of course full of banana flavour. Look out for those bright yellow skin with spots of brown. Use the ripest or better, overripe bananas for that boost of natural sweetness – an essential for a successful banana bread. The addition of greek yogurt brings out that soft tender texture, making it a great base for the walnuts. Toast your walnuts to minimize its bitterness and bring out that rich earthy flavour. But make sure to not leave them in the oven for too long or your toasty brown walnuts might turn black in the blink of an eye.
If banana-flavoured bread is not enough, take it up a notch and top it off with more bananas! That glistening caramelized bananas brings about a richer, nuttier, and sweeter addition.  Go bananas with this surprisingly simple, flavoursome and gloriously fancy-looking bread.
Greek yogurt an excellent nutritious substitute to your baking needs. Packed with proteins, probiotics and calcium, Farmers Union Greek Style yogurt gives that mild tangy and sweet flavour to this classic banana bread. Just perfect for those who want to cut those calories without sacrificing on your cravings .
