Banana Yogurt Loaf
Going bananas...no just that banana has such a rich source of vitamins, fiber and it can help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must for our daily diet. That is why I am baking or cooking something banana each week.
Read this site for more details - "A banana a day keeps the doctor away!"
I like this recipe very much because it uses 3 big bananas for a loaf and when it is baking in the oven it is so aromatic. However, be sure to use very ripe bananas for that extra sweetness and aroma.
Ingredients: (20cm x 11cm loaf pan)
100g butter (room temperature)
90g sugar
2 eggs lightly beaten + 1 tsp vanilla essence
320g mashed banana + 1 tbsp lemon juice
125ml plain yogurt
130g plain flour
60g cake flour
1 tsp baking soda
1.25 tsp ground cinnamon
Almond bits (optional)
Method:
1. Cream butter and sugar till light and fluffy.
2. Beat in the egg mixture by thirds till well blended.
3. Beat in the mashed banana and yogurt till well blended.
4. Fold in the sieved flours, baking soda and ground cinnamon.
5. Make a cut in the middle lengthwise using a wet/greased knife. Sprinkle the almond bits on top of the batter.
5. Bake in a lined loaf pan at 175C for 60 minutes or till a cake tester inserted comes out clean.

Hi, just wondering if this recipe produces banana cake that is light and fluffy or the rich rich kind?
The result I had with this recipe is really tasty. The banana bread turned out moist and not too sweet. I shared the bread with friends who were blown away and asked for the recipe. This is definitely a keeper.
Hi,
Really glad you like it. :)
Hi,
My banana yoghurt was not successful as the batter curdled when the banana and yoghurt were added. The cake had two layers with different texture : upper layer like cake and the bottom layer like "kueh". Do you have any idea what went wrong? Thank you.

Karen,
You did not mix the flour and banana mixture till it is well blended.
I see! However the batter was mixed using the mixer and was well blended. perhaps i over-mixed it? by the way, do i need to add baking powder as well? thanks again!
Karen :)
Hi
Is it ok if i use lime juice instead of lemon juice?
Hello, enjoyed your blog. just wondering whether I can use self raising flour instead.
