Whole Wheat Banana Bread

2 cups whole wheat flour

3/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup sugar

1/3 cup butter, softened

2 eggs

1 1/2 cups mashed ripe banana (about 2-3 bananas)

1/3 cup plain low-fat yogurt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

a dash of ground nutmeg

cooking spray

Preheat oven to 350°.

Combine the flour, baking soda, salt and nutmeg, stirring with a whisk.

Place sugar and butter in a large bowl, and beat with a mixer at medium speed until well blended (about 1 minute). Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add banana, yogurt, and vanilla; beat until blended. Add flour mixture; beat at low speed just until moist.

Spoon batter into an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2-inch loaf pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 1 hour or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in pan on a wire rack; remove from pan. Cool completely on wire rack.
