Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Ripe bananas
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Honey or maple syrup
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup Oat flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
- 0.25 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas using a fork until smooth and creamy.
Add the eggs, applesauce, vanilla extract, and honey (or maple syrup). Mix until well incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, oat flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and ground flaxseed.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour in the almond milk and gently fold it into the batter. If you're using walnuts, fold them into the mixture as well.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve as is, or with a spread of your choice, and enjoy!
