Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line a 9X5 loaf pan with parchment paper.
- Mash the bananas using a fork. Mix bananas and sugar until all combined. Add in applesauce and whisk well.
- Add the eggs one at a time and whisk well after each addition.
- Add the Greek yogurt and vanilla extract and mix well.
- Add flour, baking powder and baking soda to the batter, mix until there are no flour lumps left.
- Fold in the walnuts using a wooden spoon. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake for 50 minutes until fully baked. Insert a toothpick into the middle of the banana bread. If it comes out clean or with little crumb, it's ready.
- Cool for 10-15 minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack. Let the banana bread cool completely before slicing it.
Notes
- For this healthy banana bread recipe use unsweetened applesauce since you're already using one cup of sugar.
- I use non fat Greek yogurt to make this banana bread recipe but you can use 1% or whole Greek yogurt as well.
- The walnuts are optional in this recipe but they give such nice crunch to each slice of banana bread so if you like the crunch, don't skip the walnuts!
- To have clean slices, make sure the banana bread is cooled completely then slice it using a bread knife.
- You can serve this delicious and healthy banana bread with some almond butter for breakfast.
