Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
-
In a separate large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
-
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
-
Stir in the vanilla extract, mashed banana, and plain yogurt until well combined.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can result in a tough loaf.
-
If desired, gently fold in the chopped nuts or chocolate chips for an extra burst of flavor and texture.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Once baked, allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
