Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- 75 g granulated sugar
- 120 g non-fat Greek yogurt
- 60 g unsweetened applesauce
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 120 g all-purpose flour
- 0.5 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly coat with non-stick cooking spray.
In a medium-sized bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Add the granulated sugar, non-fat Greek yogurt, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until fully combined.
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Pour the wet banana mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, cut the cake into 9 squares.
Serve and enjoy your low fat banana snack cake with a cup of tea or coffee!
