Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • ½ cup plain greek yogurt
  • 1 ½ cups ripe mashed banana (about 3)
  • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup quick oats (plus more for sprinkling)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 cup pecans (roughly chopped)

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9 x 5 loaf pan and line with parchment paper, letting the paper overhang the edges for easy removal.
  • In a large bowl, beat eggs and maple syrup until frothy and lightened in color. Whisk in yogurt and mashed banana.
  • In another bowl, whisk together flour, oats, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until combined.
  • Fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients just until incorporated. Fold in pecans, if desired. Pour into prepared pan and sprinkle with additional oats on top.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until golden brown at the edges and springy to the touch, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. You may need to tent the banana bread after 40 minutes if it starts to brown too quickly.
  • Remove from the oven and allow the bread to cool completely in the pan set on a wire rack before slicing.
