Prepare Banana Bread

1. Preheat oven to 350˚F and set aside a greased loaf pan.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, prepared chai spice, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, combine mashed bananas, yogurt, melted butter, and eggs and mix well. Add granulated sugar and brown sugar and mix to combine. Gently add flour mixture, and fold until just combined.
4. Transfer batter to prepared loaf pan and bake until an inserted toothpick comes out clean, about 60 to 70 minutes. Allow the banana bread to rest for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.
