This recipe has a few healthy swaps. They don’t make it super special health food…
But the Greek yogurt in there especially helps to make a moist banana bread – even though I make this bread with 100% whole wheat flour! It’s also important not to overmix the batter, or you’ll end up with a dense and gummy loaf vs a fluffy and moist one.
