1

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Coat an 11x7-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
2

Sift the flour, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl.
3

Whisk the applesauce and maple syrup together in a large bowl. Add the eggs and whisk until well blended. Add the bananas, yogurt, and milk; mix until combined but still lumpy. Whisk in the vanilla and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Using a large wooden spoon, gently fold the flour mixture into the banana mixture until fully combined. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon.

Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Slice and serve.
