Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray an 8x4-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray (or grease it).
• In a medium bowl, whisk together 1½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together ½ cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt, ⅓ cup honey, ⅓ cup packed light brown sugar, ¼ cup melted butter, ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
• Mash 4 small (or 3 large) ripe bananas with a fork until mostly smooth, then whisk the mashed bananas into the wet mixture.
• Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined and no large streaks of flour remain—do not overmix.
• Scrape the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
• Bake on the center oven rack for about 55 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
• Let the bread cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes, then turn it out onto a cooling rack and cool completely before slicing.
