Method

1
Prepare the loaf tin and heat a conventional oven to 177°C / 350°F. Combine flour, soda, salt and cinnamon.
2
Cream softened butter with sugar. Beat in the eggs separately, then mix in banana, yogurt and vanilla.
3
Fold the flour mixture into the wet ingredients just until combined, followed by chopped walnuts.
4
Fill the tin and bake for 60–65 minutes. Shield with foil if browning early; check the centre with a skewer.
5
Rest in the tin for an hour, then lift onto a rack and cool before slicing.
