Banana bread is high on my list of favorite foods. Something about it is just so perfectly delicious. I love a slice with fruit for breakfast or topped with ice cream and drizzled with caramel sauce for dessert. I am constantly searching for new banana bread recipes. The gold standard? Something equal parts delicious and nutricious. I think this recipe for Banana's Foster Banana Bread is pretty darn close to perfect. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Add yogurt, remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar, and eggs. Beat with a mixer at medium speed. Combine flour and next 5 ingredients (through allspice) in a small bowl. Add flour mixture to banana mixture; beat just until blended. Pour batter into a 9x5-inch loaf pan coated with cooking spray or lined with parchment paper. Bake at 350 for about 1 hour.
