Notes
Overripe Bananas: Overripe bananas are soft, sweet, and full of flavor. They add moisture and help hold the bread together.
All-Purpose Flour: This gives the banana bread structure and texture.
Baking Soda: Helps the bread rise and become fluffy.
Plain Yogurt: Adds moisture and a tender crumb to the bread.
