Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Ripe bananas
- 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
Add the Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, and egg to the mashed bananas. Stir until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the unsweetened applesauce, mixing until the ingredients are all incorporated.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake the banana bread in the preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the 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.
Once cooled, slice the banana bread and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
