You can also sub the yogurt for sour cream.. I know I know not as healthy, but makes it SO moist it sticks to the roof of your mouth. That’s a Martha Steward secret!

Thank you soooo much for posting this recipe. I found it by searching for banana bread and sucanat. Japanese summer is spoiling bananas before my very eyes, and so a recipe calling for 4 was even better. My bananas had almost liquified in their skins.

I liked your changes, but I added my own. I used only 1 cup of sucanat, and ended up with a half cup of walnuts which I preroasted lightly plus a half cup of raisins (added the raisins to the wet) and the walnuts to the dry. I once read that the use of an oil helps loaf cakes/breads to keep better, so I added 1 Tbs of coconut oil to the wet ingredients.

I pondered about muffins, but just went with 2 loaf tins in the end (one glass and one metal) both coated with coconut oil. They seemed to come out the same. Only needed about 40 mins to cook in a fan-forced oven the size of a shoe box. The loaves came out beautifully and the spices are wonderful. Perhaps because it only uses baking soda, I found there was no bitter aftertaste. Being wholewheat too, I am happy to give this to my little girls as a not overly sweet but healthy snack. This is a real keeper!

I love banana bread!

I tried to be vegetarian today too – I ended up having shrimp at lunch accidentally (I just forgot). But maybe I’ll try tomorrow.
