Low Fat Banana Bread (Wheat flour,butterless)

Low fat banana bread the name itself attracted me towards this recipe as there was no butter ,only egg whites no yolk.Nothing much has to be told about this recipe, a very simple and tasty bread.The original recipe used 3/4th of all purpose flour and 1/4 th of wheat flour.But I completely gave it up for wheat flour and as I had tried the Banana Cashew Cake with wheat flour too.The recipe sounded very good for dieters.I have made few changes to the original recipe.All loved each slice of the bread :-) and its easy for working moms to prepare this in advance and serve two slices for breakfast with a cup of milk.

Ingredients
bananas ripe 2 mashed makes about 1 cup
plain yogurt 1/2 cup (low fat preferably)
