Method
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas thoroughly with a fork. Add the brown sugar, vegetable oil, plain yogurt, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until well combined.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt to ensure they are evenly distributed.
- Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Use a spatula to fold them together until just combined. Do not overmix; a few streaks of flour are okay.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top browns too quickly, tent it with foil for the last 10-15 minutes.
- Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
