Excellent.
I traded canola oil for coconut oil, it’s perfect!
I wonder if there’s a healthier, more natural sugar that could be used instead of white sugar? Maybe maple syrup? Apple sauce?
Overall, x5 stars!!!

I made some modifications to this that worked wel. I cut the sugar to 3/4 C, used King Arthur’s 1:1 gluten free flour, added 1 C of chopped pecans and topped it with Pumpkin seeds. It turned out great!

Love this recipe! I’ve made it a couple times now. Tonight instead of applesauce I used Greek Yogurt- a cinnamon pear one, it was the only thing I had. It tasted really good! I still like the applesauce version better, it’s more moist but you can use greek yogurt! Thanks for the recipe!

Have you tried it with coconut oil yet? If so how did it work.

Hi, I like the sound of adding Greek yoghurt to banana bread, I will try it. When I make bananabread I replace half of the sugar with honey, since sugar isn’t very healthy. Add a bit of cinnamon and it’s amazing!

In reply to Ana. Hi Ana! I've never tried olive oil instead of canola. If you do try it, let me know how it turns out!

Hi, I was wondering if I could use olive oil instead of canola.

This is so delicious! I’ve been making banana bread for years, and this is my favorite recipe. I used white whole wheat flour, vanilla greek yogurt, and cut the sugar to 1 cup. Yum!

In reply to Katerina. Hi Katerina! It should be just fine to use whole wheat flour! It might be a little more dense but should still taste good! Let me know what you think of it! Thanks for the comment!

Do you think this will work If I use regular whole wheat flour? I don’t have white whole wheat flour 🙁
