    Cream together butter and brown sugar for about 3 minutes. Add eggs one at a time beating well after each addition. Mix in the yougart, mashed bananas and vanilla for 2 minutes. In another bowl combine dry ingredients except the walnuts. Using a spatula gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet only until there are no more flour pockets. Do not over mix. Fold in Walnuts.

    Spoon batter evenly in two loaf pans and bake 30 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick in the center comes out clean.
