Before you begin clapping your hands and jumping up and down, hear me out on one thing. This bread is not your typical banana bread, but it's more for sandwich making. An actual sweet and aromatic banana bread is scheduled for sometime next week.
As the bread baked, I imagined myself downing 3 slices of banana-y goodness. The bread smelled like bananas; the bread had typical banana bread ingredients; the bread was meant to be banana bread.
With my first bite though, I was discouraged. MOM! Come try my bread. She smacked her mouth a few times. Hmm, it's not too banana-y, but it's good! She proceeded by allowing herself to another helping.
The woman said it was good, so be confident that it is. The bread is moist from the Greek yogurt, banana, and applesauce; and dense from the wheat flour. Dense bread is my kind of bread. What I especially love about this is that there's a twinge of banana flavor that is perfect for a peanut butter sandwich; even better, make an Elvis Presley! French toast it up, smother on some peanut butter, and layer on a a banana or two.
If you are a regular wheat bread consumer....please, give this a try. Each bite grew on me. I'm actually a bit embarrassed to say that my mom and I devoured the bread in one sitting, leaving one lone piece for my dad.
First one plain, second one buttered...third one plain, fourth one buttered.
