In a large separate bowl combine mashed bananas, brown sugar, molasses, olive oil, greek yogurt and egg. Beat wet ingredients with a hand mixer on medium high speed until fully combined.

Notes
I used full fat maple brown sugar greek yogurt from trader joe’s. Vanilla greek yogurt works just as great, I do not recommend using plain yogurt.
