Ingredients

• 3 pieces ripe bananas
• 2 pieces eggs
• 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup honey
• 1.5 cups whole wheat flour
• 0.5 cup rolled oats
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
• 0.25 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). 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.

Step 3

Add the eggs, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and honey to the mashed bananas. Whisk together until thoroughly combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans, as well as the dark chocolate chips if using, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days, or freeze for longer storage.
