Step-by-Step Instructions for Maple Banana Bread
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a stand mixer, cream together the unsalted butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add maple syrup to the creamed mixture and mix for an additional minute.
  5. Incorporate the eggs one at a time, then mix in the mashed bananas and vanilla extract.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture, alternating with plain yogurt. Stir until just combined.
  7. Fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans, reserving a handful for the topping.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle the reserved nuts on top.
  9. Bake for 50-60 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  10. If the top browns too quickly, cover loosely with aluminum foil.
  11. Cool the loaf in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and drizzle with maple syrup.
  12. Slice and enjoy; store leftovers in an airtight container.
