Ingredients
- 3-4 bananas mashed (2 cups)
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/4 cup cooking oil
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 eggs
- 1 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup oats old fashioned or quick cook
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉ and grease an 8.5-inch loaf pan or a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan and set aside.
- Combine the mashed banana, Greek yogurt, applesauce, oil, and brown sugar in a large bowl or stand mixer. Then mix in the vanilla and eggs.
- Add flour, oats, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon; mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter, which makes the bread more dense. I like to mix only until there are no streaks of flour remaining. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean. Allow the bread to cool completely before removing from the pan and slicing. Store in an air-tight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
