Delicious Banana Bread

This is the best banana bread I have ever made. It came out so moist! It comes from my hubby's aunt. I don't have any pictures to share because my toddler was sick the day I made this. I had him on my hip and I was teaching my preschooler how to properly measure flour. Not enough hands for a camera that day! But trust me, it's so good.

Ingredients:
2 cups flour, plus extra to dust pan
1 1/4 cup walnuts, chopped
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 very ripe bananas, mashed well with a fork
1/4 cup plain yogurt ( I used fat free)
2 large eggs, beaten
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, melted & cooled
1 teaspoon vanilla

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and adjust oven rack to lower middle position. Grease the bottom and sides of a 9x5 pan and dust with flour. Tap out excess flour.

Toast the chopped walnuts on a baking sheet 5-10 minutes. Let cool.

Whisk together in a large bowl with the flour, sugar, baking soda, and walnuts.

In a medium bowl, mix together with a wooden spoon the bananas, yogurt, eggs, butter and vanilla. Lightly fold the banana mixture into the dry ingredients with a rubber spatula until just combined and the batter looks thick and chunky. (I have learned that over-stirring during this step can lead to dry bread.)

Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and bake until the loaf is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean, about 55 minutes.

Cool in the pan for about 55 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Yum, yum, yum! :)
