Make traditional banana bread more nutritious by tripling the fruit and swapping milk for Greek yogurt. My Dutch grandma taught me how to make banana bread when I was old enough to mash a banana and sugar together. It was my “special job” as she put it. The smell of it baking in the oven brings back warm memories of the many life lessons she me taught and recipes shared.
