Ingredients

• 3 large ripe bananas
• 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 0.25 cup plain Greek yogurt (low-fat or non-fat)
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup brown sugar (lightly packed)
• 1.25 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the unsweetened applesauce, Greek yogurt, egg, vanilla extract, and brown sugar. Mix until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 4

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Mix gently until just combined and no dry streaks remain. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

If desired, fold in the chopped walnuts for a bit of crunch and added flavor.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the banana bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 9

Slice and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
