Ingredients
- 3 bananas
- 1/3 cup avocado oil or another vegetable oil
- 2 eggs room temperature
- 1/4 cup maple syrup or agave syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup yogurt plain
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1.5 cup white whole wheat flour about 180 gms
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips I used mini
- 1/4 cup walnuts chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven at 350°F (175°C). Also, grease a 9×5 loaf pan or use a parchment paper and cover the pan insides.
- In a large bowl, add the peeled banana. Mash them well, but if you like them a little bit chunky, then just mash them coarsely.
- Add oil, maple syrup, eggs, vanilla extract, yogurt and mix well.
- Now add the salt and baking soda, and then the whole wheat flour. Fold it all gently with the wet ingredients. Do not overmix.
- At last you can add the chopped walnuts along with chocolate chips. I used mini chocolate chips. Save some to top in the baking pan.
- Once the batter is well mixed, pour it into the prepared pan, spread it evenly. Sprinkle some walnuts or chocolate chips on the top.
- Bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
- Remove the banana bread from the loaf pan on a wire rack. Slice and enjoy!
