Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Ripe bananas
- 1.5 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the melted butter, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and Greek yogurt. Mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the banana mixture. Stir gently until the batter is just combined; avoid overmixing.
If using chopped walnuts, gently fold them into the batter at this stage.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly. Tap the pan on the counter a few times to release any air bubbles.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the banana oat bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve your banana oat bread plain or with butter, honey, or your favorite spread.
