Ingredients

• 3 large ripe bananas (mashed)
• 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 0.25 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
• 0.5 cup light brown sugar (packed)
• 2 units large eggs
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt

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.

Step 3

Add the unsweetened applesauce, Greek yogurt, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Stir until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the bread dense.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 50 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 enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
