Classic Banana Bread

This banana bread is so moist and flavorful. It's the best banana bread I've ever tried. I think it's the yogurt that makes it taste so good. I always make a double batch and keep the extra loaf in the freezer for later. It makes a great house-warming gift.

Classic Banana Bread

2 cups all purpose flour
3/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter, softened
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups mashed ripe banana (about 3 bananas)
1/3 cup plain yogurt
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Cooking spray

1) Preheat oven to 350 deg. F.

2) Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt, stirring with a whisk.

3) Place sugar and butter in a large bowl, and beat with a mixer at medium speed until well blended (about 1 minute). Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add banana, yogurt, and vanilla; beat until blended. Add flour mixture; beat at low speed just until moist.

4) Spoon batter into an 8 1/2 X 4 1/2 in. loaf pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350 deg. F. for 1 hour or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in pan on a wire rack; remove from pan. Cool completely on wire rack. Yield: 1 loaf
