Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 bananas mashed
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 cup old fashioned oatmeal
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Coat a 9x5 loaf pan with cooking spray and line with parchment paper. 
  2. In a large bowl, whisk vegetable oil and sugar until incorporated. 
  3. Add in eggs one by one and mix well. 
  4. Add in mashed bananas, vanilla and Greek yogurt. Whisk very well to make sure everything is fully combined. 
  5. Add in all purpose flour, old fashioned oatmeal, baking powder and baking soda to the wet ingredients and mix using a spatula or a wooden spoon. 
  6. Pour the oatmeal banana bread batter into the prepare pan and sprinkle 1 1/2 tablespoon old fashioned oatmeal on the banana bread. 
  7. Bake in the oven for 50 -60 minutes. A toothpick inserted in the middle of the banana bread should come out with little to no crumb. 
  8. Let it cool completely before slicing. 

Notes

  • You can use sour cream instead of Greek yogurt in this oatmeal banana bread. 
  • To make oatmeal banana nut bread, add 3/4 cup chopped walnuts to the batter after you mix in the dry ingredients.
  • It's  best to have all your ingredients at room temperature. 
  • It's very important that you use the ripest bananas you can find. The darker the skin of the banana, the riper it is. Ripe bananas are easy to mash and make the quick bread very moist.
  • To make this banana bread recipe, you need old fashioned oats and not quick cooking oatmeal. Old fashioned oats give texture to the banana bread.
  • Store the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or in the fridge for up to 7 days.
