Directions

Whisk all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg together in a small bowl.

Beat sugar and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until the butter is lightened in color and fully incorporated into the sugar, 3 to 5 minutes. Add eggs, 1 at a time, and beat until combined, about 1 minute, stopping to scrape down sides as needed. Add oil and vanilla; beat until combined, about 1 minute. Beat in bananas until combined, about 1 minute. Add yogurt and the flour mixture alternately, in batches, beating until just combined, about 30 seconds per batch.

Use a spatula to fold in 1/2 cup walnuts. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup walnuts evenly on top. Bake until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes.

Remove from oven and let cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Use the parchment overhang to remove the bread from the pan. Cool completely on a wire rack, about 30 minutes.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)

  • Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
