I took my mom's recipe and made it a bit healthier. If you want to make it extra moist, you can double the applesauce and yogurt (to 1/2 cup each).
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup white sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 -4 overly ripe bananas, peeled and mashed
1/4 cup yogurt (plain or vanilla flavored) or 1/4 cup milk (skim is fine)
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Grease a loaf pan (or muffin pan).
3. Cream the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
4. Add the bananas, yogurt, applesauce, egg, and vanilla and mix well.
5. In a separate bowl mix, together flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
6. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix well. [Variations: Add 1 small apple (peeled, cored and diced), 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, or 1/2 cup chocolate chips].
7. Pour into the pan and bake for 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (if baking muffins, bake for 20-30 minutes).
8. Cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before removing from the pan and cooling completely on a wire rack.
