  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla flavored)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour or whole wheat flour for extra health benefits
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped nuts or chocolate chips for added texture and flavor

Instructions

  4. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Fold in nuts or chocolate chips if desired.
