Servings: persons

4 very ripe bananas (if frozen, defrost in the microwave)
1/4 cup butter, melted and cooled
1 egg, at room temperature
1 to 2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup plain, full-fat yogurt

1
Mash your bananas in a big bowl -- and if they're frozen and defrosted, snip off the end and pour all the liquids and solids out of the skin.
2
Add your butter, egg, vanilla, and sugar to the mashed bananas. Mix well.
3
In another bowl, mix your flour, salt, cinnamon, and baking soda. Fold into your wet ingredients.
4
Fold the yogurt into the batter.
5
Butter a loaf pan. Pour in your batter. Bake at 325u00b0F for 45 to 50 minutes, keeping an eye on it so that it doesn't overbake. (And it's delicious a tad underbaked.) Let cool in the pan on a rack.
