Breakfast Banana Bread

Christina Austin
A healthy banana bread made with maple syrup, oatmeal, milled flaxseed and greek yogurt. Perfect for busy mornings.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats not instant
  • 1/2 cup milled flaxseed
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp fresh grated nutmeg increase if you are using pre-grated
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup preferably local to where you are
  • 3/4 cup 2% fat greek yogurt
  • 2 very ripe bananas mashed
  • 1/4 cup butter softened
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • 2 eggs lightly beaten

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees F and grease a standard loaf pan. Mix by hand or use a stand mixer with the paddle attachment.
  • Mix all the dry ingredients together (flour to nutmeg on the list) in a large mixing bowl. Stir the dry ingredients together.
  • Mash the bananas with the lemon juice in a small bowl and add the butter to them. Mix together well.
  • Add the maple syrup, greek yogurt and banana/butter mixture to the dry ingredients. Mix gently for 10 seconds or so. Add the eggs and mix until well combined. Be careful not to stir too much. Stop mixing when everything is mixed well.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it in the pan evenly.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F for 45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the centre to test.
  • Let the loaf sit in the pan for a minute after you take it out of the oven. I use a thin spatula to loosen the bread from the sides of the pan. Let the banana bread cool on a rack.
