Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
Grease 1 loaf pan with butter or baking spray. Optionally, you could also line the bottom with parchment.
Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg in a medium bowl. Set aside.
Combine the soft butter with the sugar in a large mixing bowl. Do not use a stand mixer for this recipe. Whisk by hand, or with a hand mixer set to a low speed, until fluffy.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract and mix until combined.
Fold in the bananas with a spatula.
Fold in the dry ingredients and yogurt until just combined, best by hand with a spatula. Make sure you do not over mix the batter.
Pour into the prepared loaf pan and bake 30 minutes.
Cover with foil and bake an additional 30 minutes or until a knife comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the pan and allow to cool completely before storing.
