Ingredients

• 3 large Ripe bananas
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Honey or maple syrup
• 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
• 0.5 cup Oat flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
• 0.25 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas using a fork until smooth and creamy.

Step 3

Add the eggs, applesauce, vanilla extract, and honey (or maple syrup). Mix until well incorporated.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, oat flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and ground flaxseed.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Pour in the almond milk and gently fold it into the batter. If you're using walnuts, fold them into the mixture as well.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 10

Serve as is, or with a spread of your choice, and enjoy!
