Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan, or line with parchment paper leaving an overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork. Add the melted butter, packed brown sugar, room temperature egg, plain yogurt, and vanilla extract. Whisk until everything is smoothly combined.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Use a rubber spatula to fold them together until just combined. Do not overmix; a few streaks of flour are acceptable.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top browns too quickly, tent it loosely with foil.
  6. Let the banana bread cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Then, remove the loaf from the pan and let it cool completely on the wire rack before slicing and serving.
