Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 c all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 c sugar
1 stick butter, melted
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2/3 c yogurt, plain or vanilla flavored
3 large bananas
1 c pecans, chopped

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F., 375 degrees F. if oven runs hot. Chop pecans.
  • 2. Put flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl and whisk together. Set aside.
  • 3. Mix sugar and butter together on medium until creamy. Add eggs one at a time. Add yogurt and extract. Mash bananas. Now, add bananas and then stir in nuts.
  • 4. Spray one or two 9x4 pans. One makes a very big, tall loaf and two makes an average size loaf of bread. I usually make two. Pour into greased pans.
  • 5. Bake at 400 degrees F. for 55 minutes to 1 hour or until golden brown and toothpick comes out clean. My cook at 375 if your oven runs hot.
  • 6. Cool on racks for about 5 to 10 minutes, remove from pans and continue to cool on racks.
