Preparation

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8.5 x 4.5″ or 9 x 5″ loaf pan with parchment paper.
• In a small bowl, stir together granulated sugar and cinnamon until well-combined. Set aside.
• Melt the butter and add to a large bowl. Add the bananas to the bowl and mash them very thoroughly into the melted butter until completely smooth.
• Whisk in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until well-combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, and whisk in each until well-combined.
• Add the yogurt, vanilla, salt, baking powder, and baking soda to the mixture and whisk until thoroughly combined and smooth.
• Add the flour all at once and stir with a fork or spatula until a batter just comes together. Do not over-mix!
• Pour about half of the batter into the prepared pan and smooth it out with a spatula.
• Sprinkle about half of the cinnamon sugar evenly over top of the batter.
• Pour and spread the remaining batter carefully over top of the cinnamon sugar layer, doing your best not to disturb it.
• Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar evenly over top of the batter.
• Bake for 50-60 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with just a couple crumbs attached.
• Cool almost completely in the pan before removing to a plate or wire rack (~30 minutes).
