Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 325°F (165°C) and lightly spray an 11x7-inch baking dish. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt. In a larger bowl, whisk the applesauce and maple syrup until smooth. Crack in the eggs and whisk again until everything is well combined. Add the bananas, yogurt, and milk, stirring just enough to mix—don’t worry if it’s still a bit lumpy. Stir in the vanilla and half a teaspoon of cinnamon. Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a wooden spoon until just combined. Pour the batter into your prepared dish, then sprinkle the top with brown sugar and a little extra cinnamon. Pop it in the oven and bake for about 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let it cool on a wire rack for around 10 minutes before slicing and enjoying!
