Molasses Banana-Oat Bread
Molasses Banana-Oat Bread hearty with a subtle sweetness. Perfectly satisfying as a wholesome snack or quick meal on the go. An excellent recipe to use over-ripe bananas.
Ingredients
- 5 tablespoons butter unsalted, softened
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 2 whole eggs large
- 3 whole bananas mashed (approximately 1 ¼ cups after mashing)
- ¼ cup molasses
- ½ cup Greek yogurt 4 oz. plain
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour
- ¾ cup rolled oats
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly butter (or use non-stick spray) a 9x5 loaf pan.
- In a large mixing bowl: use a fork to blend the butter, sugar, and eggs. Once fully blended use a large spoon to mix in the bananas, molasses, yogurt, and vanilla.
- Begin incorporating the dry ingredients. Sprinkle the baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg over the batter and mix well. Add the flour ½ a cup at a time and mix just enough to incorporate it evenly into the batter. Finish by mixing in the oats.
- Turn the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Cover the pan with foil and bake for 40 minutes. After 40 minutes remove the foil and continue baking an additional 20 minutes. The banana bread is finished when a toothpick can be inserted and removed clean.
- Let the loaf cool on a rack in the pan for 10 minutes before removing from the pan and cooling completely on the wrack for a couple of hours.
