  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a 9×5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine mashed bananas, applesauce, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

  6. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
