Ingredients:

  • 3 large over-ripe bananas (approx. 1.5 cups mashed)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 0.5 cup Plain Greek Yogurt (2% fat)
  • 0.33 cup Pure Maple Syrup
  • 1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 0.25 cup Melted Coconut Oil
  • 1.5 cups Blanched Almond Flour
  • 1 cup Rolled Oats
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • 0.5 tsp Sea Salt
  • 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 0.5 cup Dark Chocolate Chips (optional)
  • 0.25 cup Chopped Walnuts (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas until they reach a liquid, serum-like consistency with only very small lumps remaining.
  2. Whisk the eggs, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil into the mashed bananas until the mixture is a uniform, pale gold.
  3. Add the almond flour, rolled oats, baking soda, sea salt, and ground cinnamon directly into the wet base. Use a stiff silicone spatula to fold the ingredients together just until no dry streaks of flour remain, being careful not to over-mix.
  4. Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips and chopped walnuts if using. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  5. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the top is a deep mahogany brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool significantly before slicing to let the crumb set.
