  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch bread pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and ½ teaspoon of salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, mash 3 bananas, then mix in ½ cup butter, 2 eggs, ½ cup yogurt, ¾ cup sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla until combined.
  4. Fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined with a few lumps remaining.
