Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 10 servings nonstick cooking spray 1 ¾ cups all-purpose white flour 1 teaspoon baking soda ½ teaspoon salt ⅓ cup applesauce ½ teaspoon maple syrup 2 large eggs 3 ripe bananas, mashed, or more to taste ½ cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt ⅓ cup low-fat milk 1 teaspoon vanilla extract ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon 2 teaspoons brown sugar, or to taste (Optional) ground cinnamon Directions Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Coat an 11x7-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Sift together flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. 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. 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. Optional mix-ins are nuts, raisins, or dried fruit: just add them when you fold in the dry ingredients.
