Step-by-Step Instructions for Maple Banana Bread

  4. Gradually add maple syrup, mixing for another minute.
  5. Incorporate eggs one at a time, mixing on low until fully blended.
  6. Fold in mashed bananas and vanilla extract until combined.
  7. Mix dry ingredients into wet mixture alternately with yogurt/sour cream.
  8. Carefully fold in chopped nuts and reserve a handful for topping.
