There were a lot of giveaways around here the last 6 weeks. I hope you enjoyed them. I loved sharing some of my favorite products with you, and seeing how excited you were to win. Just because it is January, doesn’t mean the giveaways have to end! Today I am joining a group of bloggers to give one lucky winner a Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer in the color of their choice. I could not live without my Kitchen Aid mixer, so I know how awesome this prize is. I even have a healthier banana bread you can test out in your new mixer.
There are probably a million recipes for banana bread out there. I have two different versions here on the blog already. But it is a classic, and it deserves as many variations as people can come up with. This whole wheat version uses whole wheat flour, coconut oil instead of butter, Greek yogurt for some added protein, and I reduced the amount of sugar that was called for in the original recipe. I did add a few chocolate chips, because it just wouldn’t be me if I didn’t. But you can omit those, or substitute in some chopped walnuts.
This banana bread recipe makes only 1 loaf. Feel free to double the recipe, so you can freeze one for later. I like having different breads and muffins in my freezer. On a lazy weekend or if someone stops by, you always have something homemade to bring out. Banana bread also makes great thank you gifts all year round.

I’m so glad I found this recipe! I’ve made this FOUR times in the past month. Each time I added a different filling. It’s a great dessert, breakfast or snack. Not overly sweet. I’m happy that it is healthy, my toddler loves it, too.

Excellent Banana Bread! The flavor was wonderful, the bread dense but moist,and it made a full loaf. Nice dome on the top that didnt crack and explode like lava, and was a lovely golden brown. The only thing that I will add next time is a cup of chopped walnuts-my preference! Thank’s so much for sharing this recipe! Di Neal

After seeing all the great reviews, I had to buy bananas just to let them go overripe to make this bread! It turned out fabulous. I was surprised at all the creamy banana “pockets” inside the bread…made it much more delicious and interesting than regular banana bread. As my 2 year old said upon taking a bite, “Mmmm…this is SO good!”
Erin S says
Yeah!! So glad it was a hit! Anytime you can please a 2 year old, you know it is good 🙂
