Morning Banana Cake

This is a lighter version of your favourite banana bread. There is no added oil, instead I've substituted plain Greek yogurt. Feel free to take this recipe and make it your own. Keep the walnuts or remove them, add peanut butter chocolate chips instead of plain ones. My kids devour this cake. It never lasts long.

Make this Morning Banana Cake the night before for a great breakfast option. In my house, everyone grabs a piece as they are running out the door. AND with only 200 calories per serving, it is a filling and lower calorie treat to satisfy a sweet tooth.
