I had some really ripe bananas I really needed to use.
The kids weren't gonna touch them with a 10 foot pole.
If it even has a speck of brown Layla is OUT!
I accidentally bought a container of vanilla Greek yogurt. I wanted the regular kind, but picked up vanilla. I am always surprised when I get home from the grocery store. Something gets put in the shopping cart by little hands, or I am too busy swatting at little hands that I throw something in the cart that isn't correct.
Anyway, the yogurt is good stuff, but not what I wanted.
So, I just started throwing stuff into a bowl the other day...sort of my adaptation of sour cream banana bread, but with yogurt. And--I didn't want to use a loaf pan, so it almost looks like banana cake. The kids think it is cake...heehee!
What you will need:
1/4 cup butter
2 cups white sugar
2 eggs
3 very ripe bananas {mine were almost brown}
1 {16oz} container of Greek vanilla yogurt
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon
2tsp baking soda
2 1/2 cups of flour
What to do:
Cream butter and sugar.
Mix in eggs and mashed bananas.
Add yogurt, vanilla and cinnamon.
Add baking soda and flour.
Stir like crazy.
Bake @ 300 for 1 hour and 5 minutes.
I couldn't stop sampling the 'cake'
It is very good...and super moist.
And yummy and I put all the ingredients into the
Weight Watcher recipe builder and it is about 2 points per slice
if you cut the cake into 28 pieces.
This recipe is very unlike me.
I usually follow recipes to the letter...I am just wired that way.
BUT this time I just made stuff up as I went...so glad I did :)
Happy Friday!
