Steps

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a loaf pan and a sheet pan with foil or parchment paper.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, stir together the melted butter, walnuts, brown sugar, honey, and salt.

  3. 3

    Evenly spread the walnut mixture over the bottom of the prepared loaf pan and set aside.

  4. 4

    In a medium bowl, use a fork to mash the bananas until smooth and creamy.

  5. 5

    Add the sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla, and whisk until well combined.

  6. 6

    Add the yogurt, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon, and whisk again to combine.

  7. 7

    Gradually add the flour and stir just until the batter reaches a smooth texture.

  8. 8

    Pour the banana bread batter over the walnut topping, then set the loaf pan on top of the lined sheet pan to catch any drips.

  9. 9

    Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour, tenting the bread with foil if it browns too quickly.

    Let the bread cool, then invert it onto a plate and let cool completely before slicing and serving.
