Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth and creamy.
Step 3
Add the unsweetened applesauce, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and egg white to the mashed bananas. Mix until well combined.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Fold in the non-fat Greek yogurt into the batter until it is evenly distributed.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 9
Allow the banana bars to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into bars.
Step 10
Cut the cooled bars into 12 equal pieces and serve as a healthy snack or breakfast option.
