Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large very ripe bananas
  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or plain yogurt)
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chocolate chips
  • Optional: 1/3 cup raisins or dried cranberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mash bananas until mostly smooth (about 1 1/4 cups mashed).
  3. Add honey, brown sugar, eggs, melted butter (or coconut oil), Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract to the bananas. Whisk until fully combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, stir together flour, oats, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Pour dry ingredients into wet mixture. Gently fold together with a spatula until just combined. Fold in optional add-ins if using.
  6. Transfer batter to prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle extra oats or cinnamon on top if desired.
  7. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. If top browns too quickly, tent with foil at 40 minutes.
  8. Cool in pan for 15 minutes, then lift out and transfer to a cooling rack. Let cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Use very ripe bananas for best flavor. Old-fashioned oats give a hearty texture. For gluten-free, use GF flour and oats. Let bread cool completely before slicing for neat pieces. Add-ins like nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruit are optional and delicious. Store tightly wrapped at room temp for 3 days or freeze slices for longer storage.
