¾ cup Dark brown sugar

¼ cup Plain Greek yogurt or sour cream

½ fl oz Durant Olive Mill Arbequina EVOO

1 tbsp Vanilla

2 Eggs

2 cups All-purpose flour

1 tsp Baking powder

1 tsp Baking soda

1 Ripe banana mashed

1 Ripe banana sliced down the center, lengthwise for the top of your loaf

¾ cup chopped and toasted walnuts (optional)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees f. Oil a loaf pan and set aside.

In a large bowl, whisk together brown sugar, yogurt, Arbequina evoo, vanilla, and eggs until combined. Add in flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda and stir gently until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.

Fold in mashed bananas and walnusts

Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf pan. Lay the sliced banana down in the batter and sprinkle it with a thin layer of brown sugar.

Bake for 45 - 60 minutes - until a toothpick comes out clean from (test in the bread itself, not where you see banana). If it's not quite done, lower the oven to 325 and continue baking until the toothpick comes out clean.

Turn the oven to broil/high to finish off the brûléed banana. Keep a close watch pull once the sugar has browned and is bubbling - 1 to 2 minutes.

Cool for 15 minutes in the pan before transferring to a wire rack.
