Banana Bread From Heaven

I gave this recipe out today to a friend and decided I should make it public. Who am I to keep these treasures to myself? Haha. I went on a quest to find my favorite banana bread recipe and wound up developing my own. Here it is:

1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
3/4 cup unbleached white four
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 cup mashed very ripe bananas
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1 tsp vanilla
1 tbl ground flax (optional)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Note: You can also do all white flour if you don’t have whole wheat.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and butter a bread loaf pan. Mix together butter, bananas, brown sugar/honey, yogurt, vanilla and eggs. Make sure you add the eggs last. Separately mix together flours, baking soda, salt and flax. Stir the dry mixture into the wet mixture until just incorporated, then stir in the walnuts. Pour into prepared pan and bake for a little over an hour.
