Ingredients
3 medium ripe bananas
2 large eggs
2 cups rolled oats
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 pinch salt
1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
1 teaspoon alcohol-free vanilla flavor (Simply Organic or Watkins Clear Vanilla Flavor)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup chopped dates or raisins
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
2. Add bananas, eggs, oats, baking soda, salt, and maple syrup or honey to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.
3. Stir in alcohol-free vanilla flavor, cinnamon, and any desired add-ins such as chocolate chips, walnuts, or dried fruit.
4. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for about 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.

6. Serve warm or at room temperature with nut butter, yogurt, or fruit.
Notes
This Oat & Seed Banana Bread is mildly sweet and perfect for breakfast or snacks.
If you like a sweeter loaf, increase the maple syrup or honey slightly or add raisins or chopped dates.
You can mix everything in a bowl if you’re using oat flour instead of rolled oats.
Store leftovers in an airtight container on the counter for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
Freeze slices for up to 3 months for quick grab-and-go breakfasts.
