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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly.

Step 4

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the banana mixture. Stir gently until the batter is just combined; avoid overmixing.

Step 5

If using chopped walnuts, gently fold them into the batter at this stage.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Slice and serve your banana oat bread plain or with butter, honey, or your favorite spread.
