Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium ripe bananas
- 1 cup blueberries
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup coconut sugar
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 1 cup oat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
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 bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
Add the eggs, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and almond milk to the mashed bananas, whisking until well combined.
Stir in the coconut sugar until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, mix together the almond flour, oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently to combine. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to crush them.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into 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 and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for longer storage.
