Oatmeal Banana Bread
This oatmeal banana bread is so moist, thanks to Greek yogurt and ripe bananas.
Servings: 12 servings
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup maple syrup
- ½ cup greek yogurt
- 1 ½ cups mashed ripe bananas about 3
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup quick oats plus more for sprinkling
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup chopped pecans roughly chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9 x 5 loaf pan and line with parchment paper, letting the paper overhang the edges for easy removal.
- In a large bowl, beat eggs and maple syrup until frothy and lightened in color. Whisk in yogurt and mashed banana.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, oats, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until combined.
- Fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients just until incorporated. Fold in pecans, if desired. Pour into prepared pan and sprinkle with additional oats on top.
- Bake in preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until golden brown at the edges and springy to the touch, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. You may need to tent the banana bread after 40 minutes if it starts to brown too quickly.
- Remove from the oven and allow the bread to cool completely in the pan set on a wire rack before slicing.

Notes
My Top Tip: Don't over-mix your ingredients. Your batter isn't going to be smooth, and that's fine! Don't stress about getting out the lumps. Just mix so that everything is combined well without any flour streaks, or else you'll risk a rubbery banana bread.
Storage: Store your leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerate for up to 4 days.
Freezing: You can freeze your bread (once it's been cooled and sliced) for up to 3 months in sealed bags or containers. Just thaw overnight in the fridge and bring to room temperature before serving.
