Greek Yogurt Banana Bread

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9" x5" bread or loaf pan. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl or stand mixer, combine the mashed banana, Greek yogurt, applesauce, and sugar. Then mix in the vanilla and eggs.

Step 3

Add flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon; mix until just combined. That means, mix only until there are no streaks of flour remaining. Fold in the chocolate chips (if using). Pour the batter into the prepared pan.

Step 4

Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean. Allow the bread to cool completely before removing from the pan and slicing. Store in an air-tight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
