Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 3 medium ripe bananas mashed
- 1/2 cup plain, nonfat Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup granular sugar substitute (like Swerve)

Instructions
- Get Ready: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a standard 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper for effortless removal.
