Greek Yogurt Banana Bread FAQs

Can I use regular yogurt?

Yes! If you don’t have Greek yogurt, regular will work fine. I prefer plain yogurt because there’s no added sugar but you could use vanilla or another flavor if you want.

Can I use fat-free yogurt?

I would recommend full fat or 2% yogurt for this recipe. The added fat is important for the baking process, especially since we’re using yogurt to replace butter or oil.

Can I freeze Greek yogurt banana bread?

Yes! Let the loaf cool completely, then place in a freezer-safe bag to freeze. You can also slice before freezing so that you can pull out just a couple of slices at a time.

Can I make this banana bread as muffins?

Yes. You can use this Greek yogurt banana bread recipe to make muffins. Follow the directions to mix and then spoon into muffin times. Check for doneness after 18 minutes or so and adjust as needed.
