Banana Nut Bread

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Cream margarine, shortening, and sugar together with an electric mixer. Add bananas and beat until well incorporated. One at a time, add the all-purpose flour, pastry flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, yogurt, milk, and pecans, incorporating each ingredient fully before adding the next.
3. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
