HEALTHY Banana Oatmeal Bread
I am still working on my Healthy Living Lifestyle! Lots of salads, soups and chicken these days! I found this recipe and thought I would give it a try!
Oh and by the way, if you are like me and find lots of recipes on the Internet…you may want to try the Paprika App (it does cost something like 6$) I really like it for saving, organizing and sharing recipes!
Ingredients:
3 medium (approx 360 grams) overripe bananas peels removed
2 large eggs
2 cups rolled oats
1 tsp baking soda
OPTIONAL INGREDIENTS
3 tbsp maple syrup for sweeter bread
1/2 cup chocolate chips for sweeter bread and texture
1/3 cup chopped walnuts for texture
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8 x 4 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
Add bananas, eggs, oats and baking soda into a blender (in that order). If using maple syrup, also add it in at this time. Blend on high speed until you have a smooth batter. It is okay if you can still see the oats, but they should be ground up enough to look like coarse flour. If adding mix-ins like chocolate chips or chopped nuts, stir them into the batter.
Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for about 35-45 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean and when you gently press on the surface of the bread, it bounces back. Let bread cool in pan before slicing. Bread can be eaten as is or toasted. Uneaten bread should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.
Notes:
This bread is not meant to be a sweet bread. If you want a sweet bread, you can either add maple syrup to the batter (about 3 tbsp) or add chocolate chips to the batter.
If your bananas are a little larger, the recipe will still work, but your bread will be more moist and more dense.
This bread does not have the same texture as classic banana bread. Please see post for more details.
