Ingredients

• 3 large Ripe bananas, mashed
• 2 large Egg whites
• 1 cup Low-fat Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.25 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, egg whites, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, brown sugar, and applesauce. Whisk together until smooth and well combined.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

If using, fold in the chopped walnuts gently.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 9

Serve slices as they are, or lightly toast them for extra texture. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
