Ingredients

Serves:

Unsalted butter, for coating pan

1 2/3 cups all purpose flour, plus more for dusting pan

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon fine salt

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

2 large eggs

1 1/4 cups sugar

1/2 cup grapeseed oil

1 1/2 cup coarsely mashed very ripe bananas (3 large)

2 tablespoons plain whole milk yogurt

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 1/2 cups walnuts, toasted and chopped

Directions

Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter a 9x5x 3-inch loaf pan, then dust with flour to coat lightly. Tap the pan to remove any excess flour. Sift the 1 2/3 cups of flour with the baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg into a bowl.

Using an electric mixer, beat the eggs and sugar in a large bowl until pale and the mixture forms a ribbon when the beaters are lifted, about 8 minutes. Gradually blend in the oil. Beat in the bananas, yogurt, and vanilla. Using a large silicone spatula, fold the walnuts into the batter.

Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake until golden brown on top and a tester inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean, about 1 hour.

Transfer the pan to a rack and cool the bread for 15 minutes. Turn the bread out and set right side up on the rack. Serve the bread warm or at room temperature.

I an a fan of banana bread and I have tried a plethora of recipes. I even tried different ways to make banana bread healthy. This was the recipe for me!! The grape seed oil is very light and it kind of gives it a nutty taste, in a good way!!! I could do with out the yogurt but overall, excellent!!!
