Ingredients
- 2 large eggs organic
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/2 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 1 1/2 cups ripe mashed bananas about 3 medium bananas, the riper, the sweeter!
- 1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour for a healthier twist
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats plus a handful for topping
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup walnuts roughly chopped (optional, but great for omega-3s!)
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 350°F. Grab a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan, grease it with a little coconut oil, and line it with parchment paper. You can let the paper hang over the sides a bit – it'll help you lift out the bread later.
- Whisk the eggs and maple syrup in a large mixing bowl until they're frothy and lighter in color. Now, stir in the Greek yogurt and mashed bananas until well blended.
- In a separate bowl, mix the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking soda, sea salt, and cinnamon.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mix – don't overmix. If you're feeling nutty, fold in those chopped walnuts now.
- Pour the batter into your prepped loaf pan. Sprinkle a handful of oats on top. Slide it into the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes. Make a tent with foil if too brown.
- Once done, let the bread cool in the pan on a wire rack, it slices better when cool.
