Ingredients

1-1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour (I prefer white wheat flour)
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 medium ripe bananas, mashed
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, mix together the mashed bananas, applesauce, Greek yogurt, eggs, and vanilla extract.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Pour/scrape the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow the bread to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes. Remove the bread from the pan and place it on a wire rack to cool completely.
