Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a loaf pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.
- Add the milk, brown sugar, and eggs to the mashed bananas. Whisk until well combined and the sugar has dissolved.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the self-raising flour, oats, chia seeds, and cinnamon.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently to combine. Ensure there are no lumps and all ingredients are well incorporated, but avoid over-mixing.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
- Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cool, slice and enjoy your banana and oat loaf. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Tips:
- Make sure your bananas are ripe (with brown spots) as they provide the best natural sweetness and softness.
- For a nuttier flavor and added texture, consider adding a handful of chopped nuts such as walnuts or pecans to the batter.
- If you prefer a dairy-free option, substitute milk with almond milk or any other plant-based milk of your choice.
- To prevent the loaf from sticking, either grease the loaf pan or line it with parchment paper before pouring in the batter.
- Let the loaf cool completely before slicing to ensure clean cuts and to prevent it from crumbling.
