Servings 6 slices
Ingredients
- 3 medium sized bananas
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup pitted dates (about 5)*
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
Optional Ingredients
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon vinegar
- 2 tbsp chocolate chips optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 ℉. Grease 9x5-inch loaf pan and set aside.
- Mash the bananas before adding them to the blender.
- Add oats to blender and blend until flour-like.
- Add the rest of the ingredients including the bananas into the blender, setting the optional chocolate chips aside.
- Pour batter into loaf pan. Top with chocolate chips if desired.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the center feels fully cooked.
Notes
*You can substitute dates for honey. I like to use about 2 tablespoons of honey. If your bananas are brown or black, this should be enough to add sweetness without making the bread overly sweet.
Bananas can vary in sizes — if your batter feels too dense, add more banana. For added flavor, you can substitute one banana for 1/3 cup of fruit puree like pumpkin or unsweetened applesauce.
The optional ingredients are to flavor to your liking, except vinegar, which improves the texture of the bread.
