Yogurt Cinnamon Raisin Bread

Bobby saw Daniel and his Grandpere making Raisin Bread on Daniel Tiger and has wanted me to make it ever since. I found this recipe for Cinnamon Bread and completely forgot he had wanted raisins, so I was going to just add them to the recipe, but I forgot… and it took me until now to finally make what he had originally asked for.

So I found this recipe for Yogurt Raisin Bread, but didn’t have all the ingredients she listed, so I made it my own and it still turned out really good! Here’s my version… I had no plans to add in the chocolate chips, except Alexandria was helping me mix it together and mistook the raisins for chocolate chips when she saw them in the bowl, so I let her throw in some chocolate chips too!


2 Eggs
1/3 cup Chobani Whole Milk Plain Greek Yogurt
2/3 cup 2% Milk
2 tsp Vanilla Extract
1 tsp Almond Extract
1/3 cup Applesauce (this was actually the Kirkland pouches I get for my kids, it is exactly 1/3 cup)
2 cups King Arthur Whole Wheat Flour
1 tsp Baking Soda
2 tsp Baking Powder
1/8 tsp Salt
1 tsp Cinnamon Powder
1 cup Raisins
1/2 cup Chocolate Chips

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
  • Coat a 9″ x 5″ loaf pan with cooking spray and flour.
  • Whisk together the eggs, yogurt, milk, vanilla extract, almond extract, and applesauce until well blended.
  • Stir in the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon until just combined.
  • Fold in the raisins and chocolate chips.
  • Scoop the batter into the loaf pan, and bake for 45 minutes – until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Turn the bread into a wire rack to cool
  • Enjoy!

I love that we can find recipes to try at home, so that we know exactly what is going into our kids bodies! And I especially love when they are simple, because this busy mama doesn’t have much time to spare!

I hope you love it as much as we did!
