Mini Banana Bread Loaves

Mini Banana Bread Loaves are one of my family’s favorite treats!

I make banana bread at least once a week at my house.  My boys absolutely love eating it in any form.  Muffins, slices, with chocolate chips, without chocolate chips.  Anyway I serve it to them, they love it.  They typically eat two muffins and so I thought to make it into mini loaves which is about the same batter.

I remember being a kid and feeling so cool if I got to eat mini anything!  It made me feel like a giant and I think that’s why my boys loves it too.

This updated version has two secret ingredients.  Not only are there mashed bananas, but I include sliced bananas as well!  It just brings a complete new level of moisture to the bread.  And speaking of moisture, I also add in plain Greek yogurt.  The old recipe called for sour cream, but I find I really like the yogurt much better!
