first mix the ingredients
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Butter and flour a 5-by-9-inch (13-by-23-cm) loaf pan. In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. In a large bowl, mash the bananas well with a fork. Add the butter, eggs, yogurt, and vanilla. Stir until blended. Gradually add the flour mixture, stirring gently just until mixed. Stir in the nuts, if using. Scrape the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
thenbake the bread
Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. If the top begins to brown too much during baking, cover loosely with aluminum foil. Let the pan cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then turn the bread out on the rack, turn right side up, and let cool completely.
