Perfectly Moist Banana Bread Recipe

Directions

• Very ripe bananas work best, either fresh or frozen. If frozen, thaw the whole frozen bananas in the refrigerator overnight and then drain off any liquid they have released.
• Mash the bananas with a fork or electric mixer, and measure out 1 1/2 cups of the mash. This is how much you need for the recipe.
• Combine the butter and brown sugar in a mixing bowl (this can be done with a stand mixer or electric beaters). Mix on medium speed until creamy in appearance. Add 2 eggs and mix for another 2 minutes.
• Add the mashed banana, banana extract, and yogurt. Mix for another minute, or until everything is thoroughly combined.
• Combine the flour, salt, cinnamon, and baking soda and whisk together. Then add to the mixing bowl with the wet ingredients.
• Mix on low speed for only a minute or two, just until all ingredients are incorporated together well (do not over-mix at this point).
• Lightly grease a bread loaf pan with cooking spray. Then pour in the batter mixture.
• In an oven pre-heated to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, bake for 30 minutes. Then loosely tent the pan with foil, and bake another 30 minutes. When a toothpick is inserted into the bread, it should come out clean.
• Once cool enough to handle, transfer loaf of bread to a wire rack for at least 30 more minutes before slicing.
