How to Make Ashley's Healthy Whole Wheat Oatmeal Banana Bread

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (113g) softened unsalted butter and 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in 1 cup (240ml) plain yogurt, 3 ripe mashed bananas (about 1 1/2 cups), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 3/4 cups (210g) whole wheat flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional).
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Stir in 1 cup (85g) rolled oats and 1/2 cup (60g) chopped pecans (optional).
Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
