A Beautiful Day for Banana Bread with Greek Yogurt

I found this recipe on Lemon Drop Foodie and cannot say enough good things. By nature I’m not really a banana/zucchini/pumpkin bread type of gal but this is so light and fluffy and HEALTHY that even I couldn’t resist. I used Greek Yogurt instead of sour cream.

Enjoy!
