Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or cooking spray.
-
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
-
Add the applesauce, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract to the bowl with the mashed bananas. Mix well until everything is combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, and salt.
-
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
-
If desired, sprinkle the chopped nuts or chocolate chips on top of the batter for an added crunch or sweetness.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Once baked, remove the banana bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
