Classic Banana Bread (personal collection)

Finally I baked something to post on the blog. Here is a classic quick bread. I like that this recipe calls for yogurt. Yum!


2 cups flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter (softened)
2 large eggs
1-1/2 cups fresh, ripe mashed bananas
1/3 cup plain low-fat yogurt
1 tsp vanilla

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Cream sugar and butter and add eggs one at a time. Add mashed bananas, yogurt, and vanilla. Beat until blended. Add flour mixture. Beat on low speed until moist. Spoon batter into a sprayed bread pan. Bake for 1 hour. Check with toothpick for doneness, cool for 10 minutes.

*Got this recipe from my mom!

Kitchen hint:"http://www.kingarthurflour.com/tips/quick-bread-primer.html" Info on the difference between baking soda and baking powder in baking. Hint: Baking powder has baking soda in it, and baking soda complements better with acidic ingredients.
