Ingredients

For the Greek Yogurt Maple Frosting:

4 ounces cream cheese, softened and cut into small chunks
(1) 6 oz container plain, non-fat Greek yogurt
1 1/2 tablespoons maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup chopped pecans, toasted if preferred

Instructions

Place cream cheese and yogurt in a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on medium speed until light and fluffy and completely combined; about 2 minutes. Add the maple syrup and cinnamon and beat until combined. Be sure there are no clumps of cream cheese left before removing the frosting from the bowl.
When ready to serve banana bread, simply spread frosting on top, and decorate with pecans. Refrigerate frosting until needed, and frost cake right before serving.
