How to Make Cinnamon Banana Bread

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or 12 muffin cups.
In a large bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas with a fork.
Add 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened; 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar; 2 large eggs; and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 3/4 cups (210g) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Stir in 1/2 cup (120ml) plain yogurt.
Pour batter into the prepared pan.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking at 50 minutes.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
