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.
