Banana Nut Bread
I just made these banana nut bread bars this morning. They are so good. My kids will get to enjoy these delicious bars today after school. I don’t know about you but my family loves bananas but we can always eat them fast enough before they turn brown. This recipe is a great way to use up those brown or very ripe bananas. Most banana breads are loaded with lots of sugar. This version is healthier then the normal banana nut bread. Made with less fat and crabs. This bread is also higher in protein. You can sub cottage cheese instead of Greek yogurt.
