Ingredients:

  • 3 large overripe bananas (approx. 375g)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce (115g)
  • 0.33 cup plain Greek yogurt (80g)
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (250g)
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 0.5 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1.5 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the overripe bananas until they reach a mostly liquid consistency with minimal lumps.
  3. Whisk the eggs, unsweetened applesauce, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract into the mashed bananas until fully emulsified.
  4. Sift the all-purpose flour, baking soda, sea salt, and ground cinnamon directly over the wet banana mixture.
  5. Using a silicone spatula, gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined. Do not over-mix to ensure a tender crumb.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes before removing the loaf to cool completely.
