Method:
Pre- heat oven to 180 C.
Grease 8 inch loaf pan.
( I have used 3 ripe banana - ( measuring 240 ml in the measuring cup).

In a large bowl,mix the mashed bananas with a fork,and then add baking soda and beaten yogurt, ( Strain yogurt through a strainer to get a smooth and creamy texture ).

Allow to sit while you prepare the rest of the batter.

Meanwhile in a separate bowl,whisk together oil,sugar,egg and vanilla essence.( first beat the egg then add the rest of the ingredients )

In a large bowl,whisk together flour,baking powder,ground cinnamon and salt.

Then combine the oil mixture with the banana mixture and then add to the flour mixture.

Stir just until all the ingredients are moistened.

Pour into the prepared pan and smooth the top.

Bake for  45 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Take out the loaf pan and leave it to cool on wire rack for 5 minutes.

After 5 minute invert pan,and leave the banana bread to cool completely.

Makes  one loaf .
This is a delicious and tasty bread cum cake.
Very similiar to bread but with a very light sweet taste.
The brown crust on top give a very rich colour to the bread  and adds a crunch to the flavour.
