Classic Banana Bread

Yet another successful recipe from Our Best Bites (seriously go check out their site!).  I believe they attribute this recipe to Cooking Light.  This is such moist and yummy banana bread.  The only change I made to it was to add in some cinnamon.  You'll love this bread - I promise!

What You'll Need:

2 c. all-purpose flour

3/4 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. salt

1 tsp. cinnamon

1 c. sugar

1/4 c. butter, softened

2 large eggs

1 1/2 c. mashed ripe bananas (about 3 bananas)

1/3 c. plain low-fat yogurt

1 tsp. vanilla extract

2-3 Tb. brown sugar

Cooking spray

What To Do:

Preheat oven to 350*.  Combine the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon, stirring with a whisk.  Place sugar and butter in a large bowl and beat with a mixer at medium speed until well blended (about 1 minute). Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition.  Add bananas, yogurt, and vanilla; beat until blended.  Add flour mixture; beat at low speed just until moist.  Spoon batter into a loaf pan coated with cooking spray.  Sprinkle brown sugar on top.  Bake at 350* for 1 hour (or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean).  Cool 10 minutes in pan on a wire rack; remove from pan.  Cool completely on wire rack.
