Makes 1 huge loaf or 3 small loaves
Preheat the oven to 350.
In one bowl, combine:

1/2 stick (4-5 tablespoons) butter, softened
2 eggs
2 or 3 very ripe bananas
1 cup plain yogurt
2/3 Brown cup sugar
1 Teaspoon of Vanilla Extract (homemade of course!)

(Use a potato masher, fork, spoon or hands toes what ever you please to squish the banana and mix the ingredients together. It is alright for there to be small chunks of banana in the batter, but you want most of the banana to be reduced to mush.)

In another bowl, combine:
• 1 1/2 cup all-purpose unbleached flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional) But highly recommended!!!! But DON’T stop there add some ground nutmeg, ground ginger & ground allspice

Combine the wet and dry ingredients and mix until the ingredients are blended together.
If you like, stir in additional ingredients here, such as chopped walnuts or pecans, dried cherries or apricots, or chocolate chips. A handful (about a half a cup) is about right.
Pour the dough into greased baking pans and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Small loaves take around 30 minutes, a normal-sized loaf takes around 50 minutes.
Remove from the oven. This bread is great warm, but it is excellent cold too.
After they have cooled for 5 or 10 minutes the loaves can be removed from the pan to cool. Once they are cool they can be individually wrapped and frozen.

Now spread some homemade butter on top YES I said HOMEMADE BUTTER that vid/ Recipe will be cuming soon!
This is the moistest Banana Bread I have ever had/made
