Ingredients
For the Banana Oat Bread:
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed well
- 2 cups of old-fashioned rolled oats
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- ⅓ cup plain Greek yogurt
- ⅓ cup honey or maple syrup, your choice
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Optional: ⅓ cup of chocolate chips or chopped nuts for added texture
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a loaf pan by either greasing it lightly or lining it with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Stir in the eggs, yogurt, and your choice of honey or maple syrup.
- Add the baking soda, baking powder, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well until everything is evenly combined.
- Gently fold in the oats and, if desired, chocolate chips or chopped nuts. Let the mixture rest for about 5 minutes.
- Transfer the batter to the loaf pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then move it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
