This is my favorite banana bread recipe of all time. The addition of Greek yogurt is what makes this bread so moist and the combination of melted butter, bananas, cinnamon and brown sugar is just the best.
Make sure you use bananas that are very ripe with brown spots on them for the best flavor and perfect sweetness.
