Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 large eggs

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350ºF (176ºC) and lightly grease a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Mix in the mashed bananas, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and brown sugar until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined.

Notes
For a healthier option, substitute whole wheat flour or honey in place of maple syrup. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days.
