- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.

- In a separate bowl, mash the bananas. Add the yogurt, sugar substitute (or sugar), softened margarine, egg whites, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix well until combined.
- Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.

- 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!
