Best Easy Moist Banana Bread

 

3 bananas – mashed

½ cup plain fat free Greek yogurt

½ cup unsweetened applesauce – (see note)

1 cup sugar – (see note)

1 tsp. vanilla

2 eggs

1 ¾ cup flour

½ tsp. salt

1 tsp. baking soda

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips – (optional)

 

Preheat oven to 325 degrees and grease a 9×5 inch bread pan. In a large bowl mix together mashed banana, Greek yogurt, applesauce, and sugar. Mix in vanilla and eggs. Add flour, salt, baking soda and mix until just combined – DO NOT OVER MIX – just until there are no remaining streaks of flour. Pour into prepared pan. Bake for 55-65 minutes, until top is browned and a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack before turning bread out of pan and slicing. Store in airtight container at room temperature up to 5 days.
