Ingredients for Allison S Banana Bread

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

How to Make Allison S Banana Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Mash 3 ripe bananas with a fork. Add mashed bananas, ½ cup plain yogurt to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just moistened. Do not overmix.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
