Easy Banana Bread
Description
This Easy Banana Bread combines mashed ripe bananas with oatmeal, eggs, and honey to form a batter that bakes into a moist and tender loaf. The oatmeal adds texture and fiber, while baking soda leavens the bread to a light crumb. The batter is blended until mostly smooth, and the optional inclusion of chopped walnuts provides a crunchy contrast to the soft crumb.
Baking takes place in a greased loaf pan at 350°F, with the cooking time varying depending on the pan size but typically falling between 30 and 45 minutes. The bread is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cooling adequately ensures slices hold together when cut.
You can substitute maple syrup or molasses for the honey if preferred. This banana bread offers a straightforward way to use overripe bananas and can be eaten as a snack or breakfast item.
Ingredients
- 2 egg
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 banana medium ripe
- 2 cups oatmeal
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt optional
- 1/2 cup walnuts optional, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F.
- Put all the eggs, honey, bananas, oatmeal, baking soda and salt in a blender. For best results layer the ingredients with the eggs and honey first.
- Blend until mostly smooth. This might take 2-3 minutes depending on your blender. If necessary turn the blender off, shake it and turn it back on.
- Spray a loaf pan with cooking spray and pour the batter into the pan. Sprinkle with chopped walnuts if desired.
- Bake for 30-45 minutes until the middle is firm and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. The time will vary depending on the size of your loaf pan. Check every 5-10 minutes after 30 minutes have passed.
Notes
- Maple syrup or molasses can be used instead of honey for a variation in sweetness.
