Ingredients

• 3 large ripe bananas
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 0.75 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 0.5 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
• 2 tablespoons rolled oats (for topping)

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 until smooth. You can use a fork or potato masher for this step.

Step 3

Add melted butter, brown sugar, vanilla extract, eggs, and Greek yogurt to the bananas. Whisk until the mixture is well combined and smooth.

Step 4

In another bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Stir to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet banana mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the optional chopped walnuts if using. This adds a great crunch to the bread.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Sprinkle the 2 tablespoons of rolled oats on top for decoration.

Step 8

Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Once baked, allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 10

Slice, serve, and enjoy your Chewy Banana Oatmeal Bread as is or with a spread of butter or cream cheese.
