For the bread:
2
Preheat oven to 350u00b0F.
3
In a medium mixing bowl, mash bananas. Add eggs, oil, yogurt, brown sugar, and vanilla; whisk until smooth. Set aside.
4
In a separate bowl, combine flours, baking powder, and baking soda. Gently stir flour mixture into wet ingredients, being careful not to over-mix. Set aside.
5
In a small bowl, combine granulated sugar and cinnamon.
6
Pour half the batter into a greased standard sized loaf pan. Sprinkle evenly with cinnamon sugar mixture. Gently smooth the remaining batter over the cinnamon sugar layer.
7
Bake for 45-50 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out cleanly.
8
For the pecan praline glaze:
9
As banana loaf cools, melt butter on a low heat in a small sauce pan. Gently whisk in sugar and cream. Continue to heat until mixture begins to boil, stirring almost continuously. Continue to simmer until caramel thickens slightly (it will still be pretty runny at this point).
10
Stir in pecans and take off of the heat. Drizzle over banana bread. Enjoy!

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
