Lo's Secret Banana Bread Recipe

I have tried about 5-6 different banana bread recipes and for some reason they have all been epic fails. I was talking to my friend Lo about this unfortunate predicament I was in and she offered her tried and true secret (but now not so secret) recipe. It's one that friends and family beg her to make for every holiday. I've made this recipe multiple times and it has been a constant hit! 

Ingredients 

3 Overripe Bananas

1/2 cup Greek Yogurt

1/2 cup Coconut Oil or Melted Butter

1/2 tsp Vanilla 

1 Egg

2 cups Flour

1 cup Sugar

1 tsp Baking Soda

1 tsp Cinnamon

1/2 tsp Nutmeg

1/4 tsp Ginger

1 cup Chocolate Chips or Blueberries

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix together greek yogurt, egg, overripe bananas, vanilla, and coconut oil together. 

2. Add cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, sugar, baking soda, flour, and chocolate chips.

3. Mix ingredients all together and put into bread pan, mini bread pans, or muffin tins! Cooking times vary for each way you cook it. 

These times are estimates:

Bread Pan: 25-30 mins

Mini Bread Pan: 25-30 mins

Muffins: 15-20 mins

Voila! I made them in cute mini bread containers I found at Target and then delivered them to girls in my neighborhood as a "hello." I used these adorable tags from Lex's blog to top them off! Hope you enjoy this recipe just as much as I do!

Dedicated to Evan and Jesse

No the apocalypse hasn't come. I cook!

Growing up I never felt the need to cook. Evan and Jesse were growing boys, thus they ate 24/7. My mom got sick of cooking for their bottomless stomaches and demanded that they learn how to cook for themselves. I don't eat like a crazy baboon so I didn't cook, just when Evan/Jesse was cooking I'd say "Hey, make one for me!" 

So Evan and Jesse's conclusion was that I couldn't cook. 

CORRECTION. 

It's not that I didn't know how, it's just that I never  had to. 

Life has changed and now let's do the math...

A: Married a boy who plays football and eats non-stop

B: I'm just sitting at home all day resting before the hectic school year and work

C: I've started to become bored and now call my mom for recipes and look up stuff on allrecipes.com and ourbestbites.com

Here are some pictures of a couple of my beautiful creations.

He loves mac&cheese so I'd thought I would make it a kids theme night dinner. 

Mac & cheese, celery with peanut butter and chocolate chips, and chocolate jell-o pudding with strawberries on top for dessert.

We LOVE brownies. The dollar box kind. I made the nice thick moist ones. Yummmm

I'll introduce you to my mixer and my crock-pot. I am in love with them! Wedding presents that I have used almost everyday. 

Fav recipes:

-Lipton onion pot roast

-Vegetable dip (it has tons of sugar in it which is probably why everyone loves it)

-Fruit salad (with marshmellows, cool whip, marachino cherries, mandarin oranges, etc)

-Chicken with cream of celery, mushroom, and chicken in a crockpot with rice 

-Mushroom caps with parmesan, cream cheese, and bacon bits

-Banana bread

Going to try:

-Making paninis

-More bread recipes (who doesn't love bread?)

-Mexican food! Specifically carne asada. (That's a given)

Annnddddd I'm hungry now. My banana bread is calling to me.
