• Pinch of salt
• 2 tbsp stevia or sweetener of choice (adjust to taste)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan or line a muffin tin with paper liners.
2. Mash the bananas in a large bowl until smooth.
3. Mix wet ingredients: Add the egg, applesauce, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Stir to combine.
4. Add dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and sweetener.
5. Combine: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Fold in walnuts if using.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan or muffin tin.
   • For muffins: Fill each muffin cup about 3/4 full.
7. Bake in the preheated oven:
   • For muffins, bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
   • For banana bread, bake for 30-40 minutes, checking with a toothpick in the center.
8. Cool for a few minutes before removing from the pan. Allow to cool completely before slicing or serving.
