  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3 very ripe large bananas, mashed
  • 1/4 C low fat plain yogurt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 Tb canola oil
  • 6 Tb unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 tsp vanilla

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray your loaf pan with cooking spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, beat together the banana, yogurt, eggs, oil, applesauce and vanilla.
  3. Add the flour, sugar, soda and salt. Using a rubber spatula, fold dry ingredients into the wet just until combined. Do not overmix.
