Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 325°F (165°C) and lightly spray an 11x7-inch baking dish so the bread doesn’t stick. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt. In a larger bowl, whisk the applesauce and maple syrup until smooth, then beat in the eggs. Add the bananas, yogurt, and milk, mixing just until everything comes together—you want it a bit lumpy. Stir in the vanilla and half a teaspoon of cinnamon. Now, gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture with a big wooden spoon until just combined. Pour the batter into your prepared dish, then sprinkle the top with a little brown sugar and cinnamon for a nice touch. Bake for about 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick poked in the center comes out clean. Let it cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
