Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Ripe bananas
- 200 grams Rolled oats
- 2 large Eggs
- 120 ml Unsweetened applesauce
- 60 ml Honey
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 120 grams Plain non-fat Greek yogurt
- 50 grams Chopped walnuts or chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a 9x5-inch (23x13 cm) loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.
Add the eggs, unsweetened applesauce, honey, and vanilla extract into the bowl with the mashed bananas. Whisk everything together until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the rolled oats, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the plain non-fat Greek yogurt until the batter is smooth and uniform. If using optional chopped walnuts or chocolate chips, gently fold them in at this stage.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly using a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Slice the bread into 10 equal servings and enjoy!
