Recipe Information
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
Instructions
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.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
Add the unsweetened applesauce, Greek yogurt, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Stir until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
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.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
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.
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.
