Ingredients

• 2 T butter, unsalted
• 1 c pecans, chopped
• ¼ t salt, fine
• 1 c all-purpose flour
• 1 t baking soda
• ¼ t cinnamon, ground
• ½ t salt, fine
• 1 c plus 2T sugar, granulated
• 2 large eggs
• 1 stick butter, melted and cooled
• 3 very ripe large bananas, mashed
• 2 T yogurt, plain
• 1 t vanilla extract

Directions

1. Melt butter in a small saute pan over medium heat.
2. Add pecans and salt and cook, stirring frequently until the mixture is lightly browned, about 5 min. Allow to cool.
3. Preheat oven to 325°F. Lightly butter a loaf pan. If doubling the recipe, use Silicone Baking Pan with Divider. Or, using same ingredient amounts, use one side of Divider.
4. In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
5. With an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat sugar and eggs on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 min. Set the mixer to low and slowly add the melted butter. Add the bananas, yogurt, and vanilla extract, beating until just combined.
6. Fold in the flour and pecans with a rubber spatula. Pour batter into loaf pan.
7. Bake for 45-55 min. or until golden brown on top and toothpick comes out clean when place in center. Let cool on a wire rack for 30 min. Afterward, remove from loaf pan or separate and remove from Divider to cool completely.
