      Title: Banana Bread (Sally McKenney)
 Categories: Breads
      Yield: 1 Loaf

      2 c  All-purpose flour (250 g)
      1 ts Baking soda
    1/4 ts Salt
    1/2 ts Ground cinnamon
    1/2 c  Unsalted butter (115 g);
           -softened to room
           -temperature
    3/4 c  Brown sugar (150 g); packed
      2 lg Eggs; at room temperature
    1/3 c  Plain yogurt or sour cream
           -(80 g)
      4 lg Ripe bananas (2 c); mashed
      1 ts Pure vanilla extract
    3/4 c  Pecans or walnuts (100 g);
           -chopped (optional)

  Adjust the oven rack to the lower third position and preheat the oven
  to 350 F (177 C). Grease a 9-5" loaf pan or coat with nonstick
  spray. Set aside.

  Whisk the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon together in a large
  bowl.

  Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle or whisk
  attachment, beat the butter and brown sugar together on high speed
  until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. On medium speed, add the
  eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the
  yogurt, mashed bananas, and vanilla extract on medium speed until
  combined. With the mixer running on low speed, slowly beat the dry
  ingredients into the wet ingredients until no flour pockets remain.
  Do not overmix. Fold in the nuts, if using.

  Spoon the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 60-65
  minutes, loosely covering the bread with aluminum foil at the 30
  minute mark to help prevent the top and sides from getting too brown.
  A toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf will come out clean
  when the bread is done. Remove from the oven and allow the bread to
  cool completely in the pan set on a wire rack.

  Cover and store banana bread at room temperature for 2 days or in the
  refrigerator for up to 1 week. Banana bread tastes best on day 2
  after the flavors have settled together.
