This is the best ever EASY banana bread recipe with a super MOIST and tender texture and tons of sweet banana flavor. Everyone loves it! You'll never need another recipe.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugars, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
In a medium bowl, stir together the bananas, yogurt, eggs, butter, oil, and vanilla. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just barely combined. Gently fold in the walnuts or chocolate chips (if using), being very careful not to overmix. Spread batter into the prepared pan.
Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or a digital thermometer inserted into the center reads 200-205°F, about 55 to 65 minutes. Cool in the pan on a cooling rack for 15 minutes before removing the loaf from the pan to finish cooling completely.

Notes
Use very overripe bananas. They should be very soft and covered with dark brown speckles. Mash the bananas very well by hand with a fork or potato masher.To ensure your banana bread is baked, use an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center. Banana bread is baked when the internal temperature reaches 200 to 205°F.
