- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 0.33 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
Add the eggs, Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas, and whisk until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix together the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula, being careful not to overmix.
If desired, gently fold in chopped walnuts or chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and enjoy this healthy banana oatmeal bread as a snack or breakfast option!
