  #SpoonTip: The riper the bananas are, the better they will be in the bread. This is a great way to use up bananas that are getting too soft and brown to eat by themselves.

  Whisk the eggs together in another bowl.

  

• Step 7

  Add the bananas, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, brown sugar, and vanilla extract to the bowl with the eggs.

  Let the bread cool for about 15 minutes.

  #SpoonTip: Reheat the leftover slices for about 20 seconds so it tastes fresh out of the oven.
