Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas
- 50 grams brown sugar
- 60 milliliters unsweetened applesauce
- 120 grams plain Greek yogurt
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 190 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.
Step 3
Add the brown sugar, unsweetened applesauce, Greek yogurt, egg, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas, and whisk until well combined.
Step 4
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Step 5
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula or wooden spoon. Mix until just combined—avoid overmixing as it can make the bread dense.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 8
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Step 9
Slice into 10 equal servings and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
