Healthy Banana Oat Bread

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas using a fork or potato masher until smooth.

Add the eggs, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.

In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. If desired, fold in chopped nuts or chocolate chips.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
