1 cup toasted chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350F
Combine bananas, sugar and eggs until well blended (I use an immersion blender but a hand mixer works well too)
Add the butter to the banana mixture and mix well
Sift flour, baking soda and salt together, then stir the flour mixture into the banana mixture and mix well
Stir in the yogurt
Fold in the nuts, if using
Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan
Bake at 350F for 30 minutes
Reduce heat to 300F and bake until the bread is dark brown in colour and a knife inserted in the centre comes out clean (about another 45 minutes or more)
Let cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then run a knife around the edge of the bread to loosen it, then slide the loaf onto the wire rack to cool completely (as if!)
Alternatively, you can make muffins rather than a loaf by spooning the batter into 12 greased muffin cups, bake at 300F until dark brown and cooked through (about 1 hour), let sit 5 minutes, then remove the muffins from the pan and cool completely on a wire rack
