I wanted to make banana bread one day and I couldn't find my go to recipe. I come up with this by combining a couple of recipes. This is the best! I pleasantly surprised myself and my family and friends love it as well!

How To Make banana bread

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease 2 loaf pans (I used glass).
  • Step 2
    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.
  • Step 3
    Spoon batter evenly in two loaf pans and bake 30 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick in the center comes out clean.
