1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 cup plain yogurt or 1/2 cup sour cream

Cream margarine, sugar, eggs and vanilla.
Add dry ingredients, then mashed bananas, nuts, and yogurt or sour cream. Add chocolate chips, if using. Mix well.
Bake at 350°F for 1 hour. If using mini loaf pans, cook for about 45 minutes. Enjoy!
