Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour

This banana bread is a great make-ahead breakfast or snack. I love to slice it up and freeze it, then pop a slice in the toaster when I'm short on time.

I love that this recipe uses Greek yogurt and applesauce instead of butter and sugar. It makes the banana bread a healthier option without sacrificing any taste.

I was a bit skeptical about using Greek yogurt and applesauce in banana bread, but I was pleasantly surprised at how well they worked. The bread was moist and flavorful, and it didn't have that heavy, dense texture that some banana breads can have.
