Making (ba)nana bread

M and I made banana bread over the weekend (or "nana" bread, as he says it). It was a fun indoor activity (it's been too cold here in the mornings to go outside) and was easy enough to make. This was the first time he's helped me bake anything and it worked out pretty well.

First, he peeled some bananas:

Then we measured out and melted the butter:

Next came yogurt, eggs, and mashing:

Then we mixed the dry ingredients, starting with flour and sugar:

A pinch of salt, some baking soda, and a good squish:

We mixed and poured the batter into loaf pans and put them in the oven:

Less than an hour later, we had a yummy homemade snack:
