Tired of throwing out old bananas? This recipe is a moist, flavorful, and low-fat way to save those bananas and keep your kids coming back for more. No white sugar here. Good old maple syrup, non-fat Greek yogurt, and applesauce make great alternatives to the usual banana bread recipe!
Ingredients
- nonstick cooking spray
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose white flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup applesauce
- ½ teaspoon maple syrup
- 2 large eggs
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed, or more to taste
- ½ cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 1/3 cup low-fat milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar, or to taste (Optional)
- ground cinnamon
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Coat an 11×7-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Step 2
Sift together flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
Step 3
Whisk together applesauce and maple syrup in a large bowl. Add eggs and whisk until well blended. Add bananas, yogurt, and milk; mix until combined but still lumpy. Whisk in vanilla and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Fold flour mixture slowly into banana mixture with a large wooden spoon until fully combined. Pour batter into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, 50 to 55 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack. Slice and serve.
Cook’s Notes:
White whole wheat flour may be substituted for white flour, if desired. Honey can be used in place of maple syrup, and vanilla-flavored Greek yogurt can be used instead of plain.
