Moist and Easy Banana Bread

Submitted by OzzieFoodie

"This banana bread is moist, low-fat and easy to make as there is no need for a mixer! I found this recipe on-line on a couple different websites and adapted it slightly to add non-fat yogurt in place of some of the butter to lower the fat content. My fiance and I loved it!"

PERFECT! Perfectly sweet, perfectly moist, perfectly seasoned and perfectly easy to make! :-) I had 6 banana's that I needed to use so I doubled the recipe. I also didn't have any plain nonfat yogurt so I substituted low fat sour cream. Thank you for sharing your delicious recipe! Made for PAC Spring 2010.

I made this today for brunch and my kids inhaled it. I used white chocolate chips and for some reason they where hard to see in the batter, but they tasted great. Thanks for the recipe.
