🛒 Ingredients for No-Sugar-Added Blender Banana Bread
Don’t throw away those over-ripe, freckled bunches from Turn them into this clean, one-blender breakfast cake:
- 3 large Very ripe, spotted brown bananas 🤎
- 2 cups Rolled oats (blended into flour) 🌾
- 2 Large eggs 🥚
- 1/4 cup Unsweetened almond milk or Greek yogurt 🥛
- 1 tsp Baking soda 🧪
- 1 tsp Pure vanilla extract 🪵
- 1 tbsp Ground cinnamon (helps balance blood sugar!) 🌿
- A pinch of sea salt 🧂
- Optional Mix-ins: 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts or dark chocolate chips 🍫🥜
👩🍳 The Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Blend the Base: Toss your 3 ripe brown bananas, 2 eggs, ¼ cup of almond milk (or Greek yogurt), and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract directly into a high-speed blender. Blend on high for 30 seconds until completely smooth and liquefied.
- Add the Dry Ingredients: Pour the 2 cups of rolled oats, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 tablespoon of cinnamon, and a pinch of salt straight into the blender on top of the wet mixture. Blend again for 20 to 30 seconds until a thick, uniform cake batter forms. 🌾
- Fold in the Textures: If you love an extra crunch, stir in your chopped walnuts or dark chocolate chips using a spatula. Do not blend them! 🍫
- Bake to Perfection: Pour the smooth batter into your prepared loaf pan. If you have an extra banana, slice it longways and place it right on top of the batter for a gorgeous bakery finish. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is deeply golden brown.
- Cool and Slice: Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice into thick squares and enjoy warm with a smear of natural peanut butter! 🍽️🎉
