Ingredients Description
Ripe bananas make this bread naturally sweet and moist. Honey is used instead of sugar for a healthier option.

Baking soda helps the bread rise, and a pinch of salt balances the flavors.
Cooking Instructions

- Mash the bananas in a large bowl.
- Add the applesauce or Greek yogurt, honey, egg, vanilla extract, and almond milk. Mix everything until smooth.
- In another bowl, combine whole wheat flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir until just combined.
- Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Pour the batter into the loaf pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 50–55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let it cool before slicing. Serve and enjoy!
