This is the best ever easy banana bread recipe with a super moist and 
tender texture and tons of sweet banana flavor. Everyone loves this recipe!

You can use chocolate chips instead of walnuts.

PREP: 15 MINUTES
COOK: 55 MINUTES
TOTAL: 1:10
Yield: one 9" LOAF

Preheat the oven to 350F. Generously grease a 9 by 5" loaf pan.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugars, baking soda, 
cinnamon, and salt.

In a medium bowl stir together the bananas, yogurt, eggs, butter, 
oil, and vanilla. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry 
ingredients until just barely combined. Gently fold in the walnuts or 
chocolate chips if using, being very careful not to overmix. Spread 
batter into the prepared pan.

Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center 
comes out clean, about 55 minutes. Cool in the pan on a cooling rack 
for 15 minutes before removing the loaf from the pan to finish 
cooling completely.

Recipe Notes: Use about 3 very overripe bananas. They should be very 
soft and covered with dark brown speckles. Mash the bananas very well 
by hand with a fork or potato masher.

Review: I made this banana bread at the weekend and it was sooo good. 
My OH and I both love banana bread and we both thought this was 
probably the best recipe I've made. I made it on Sunday night and it 
was gone by Tuesday night.

Review: I've been searching for the perfect banana bread recipe for a 
while now. This definitely comes close. The texture is amazing and it 
smells incredible while it's baking. I left mine in the oven for 1 
hour as the recipe said but it burnt a little on top, so next time I 
will check on it after 50 mins. I also halved the amount of sugar and 
omitted the walnuts (didn't have any on hand). Came out perfectly 
sweet - I think the bananas, especially really ripe ones, have enough 
sugar in them as it is. Will be making this again and hopefully with 
the walnuts next time! Thanks for sharing
