Simple Healthy Banana Bread – Yogurt, Wholewheat
Hello food lovers. I am finally back on the blog! It is winter in New Zealand and I and my baby girl had a cold for a few days and I did not find the motivation to write on the blog lately.
It does not mean I did not bake during these days! Of course not! What is better than this simple healthy banana bread recipe to get back on your feet?
Obviously, I did not have the energy to spend hours in the kitchen baking, so I did a really simple banana bread recipe using the ingredients I had on my hands.

My secret to transforming this simple healthy banana bread recipe into fancy banana bread?
Add a full banana on top of your bread. It will create a compote-like texture on top of the bread, adding extra sweetness and moisture. Absolutely mind-blowing!
The recipe is already sweet but I really appreciated the extra sweetness on the top of each slice.
Another optional twist to this simple healthy banana bread recipe is to add ground cinnamon and chopped walnuts. It will bring this simple banana bread to the next level.
Enjoy this simple recipe!

Hi Carine, did u mean baking soda or baking powder as u wrote it different in the ingredients and the steps. thanks!
Baking powder sorry. If you want to use baking soda use half the amount of baking powder. Enjoy, XOXO Carine
Your reply is confusing. If you want to use baking SODA use half the amount baking powder? What?
Sorry for that, I meant 2 teaspoon of baking powder OR 1 teaspoon of baking soda
Can I replace coconut oil by butter?
Yes, sure. Enjoy the recipe, XOXO Carine
is it possible to replace wheat flour by almond or coconut flour?
Yes sure, same amount of almond flour shouLd work as well. Enjoy the recipes around here, XOXO Carine
I am so going to try this out! I may try a mix of cinnamon and nutmeg and see how that goes. Thanks for sharing.

I love the idea of this simple banana bread. I may have to try this out with a few other quick bread and muffin recipes!
This is such an impressive looking loaf of banana bread. I love the sliced banana on top. Sounds like a fantastic taste-good and feel-good recipe
Thanks! It was a last minute idea – I actually had too much bananas and I decided to try this 🙂 It was a nice try it caramelised on the top and melt in the mouth!
