I always triple the recipe because making 3 loaves is just as easy as making 1 loaf and I usually give one or two away so….. Also, I'm not exactly sure on the prep time because I know I'm not the fastest in the kitchen.

prep time 30 Min
cook time 55 Min
method Bake
yield Depends on how hungry you are!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all purpose unbleached flour
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 or 4 - very rip bananas , mashed really well
  • 1/4 cup plain yogurt
  • 2 - large eggs lightly beaten
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups chopped walnuts (optional)

How To Make moist banana bread

  • Step 1
    Adjust an oven rack to the lower-middle position and heat the oven to 350°F (175°C) degrees. Grease the bottom and sides of a 9 by 5-inch loaf pan; dust with flour, tapping out the excess.
  • Step 2
    Spread the walnuts on a baking sheet and toast until fragrant, 5 to 7 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • Step 3
    Whisk the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, (and walnuts if you choose) together in a large bowl; set aside.
  • Step 4
    Mix the mashed bananas, yogurt, eggs, butter, and vanilla with a wooden spoon, or spatula in a medium bowl. Lightly fold the banana mixture into the dry ingredients with a rubber spatula until just combined and the batter looks thick and chunky. Scrape the batter into the prepared loaf pan(s).
  • Step 5
    Bake until the loaf is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 55 minutes. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
