Easy Healthy Banana Bread

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. You should have about 1.5 cups of mashed bananas.

Add the honey or maple syrup, eggs, vanilla extract, and Greek yogurt (or applesauce) to the mashed bananas. Mix until well combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. If desired, fold in the chopped nuts.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.

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

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
