Ingredients

• 3 large ripe bananas
• 0.5 cup honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 0.25 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
• 1 large egg
• 1.5 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0 as needed cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray and set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.

Step 3

Add the honey, vanilla extract, unsweetened applesauce, nonfat Greek yogurt, and egg to the mashed bananas. Stir until well combined.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be thick.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.

Step 9

Carefully transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 10

Slice into 10 portions and enjoy your Low Fat Honey Banana Bread!
