Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 3/4 cups quick oats
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil or olive oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk
- 1/4 cup nonfat greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- extra coconut flakes and chocolate chips, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease a 9 inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- In medium bowl whisk together flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt; set aside.
- In large bowl, beat together mashed bananas, dark brown sugar, oil, vanilla, and eggs until well combined. Stir in greek yogurt and coconut milk.
- Add dry ingredients to the wet, and mix until just combined. Gently fold in shredded and chocolate chips.
- Sprinkle a tablespoon or two or chocolate chips and coconut on top of the bread, if desired. (I love it because the coconut gets toasted when you bake it.)
- Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and bake for 45-60 minutes or until knife comes out nearly clean with a few crumbs attached. Cut into 15 slices and enjoy!
Notes
Feel free to replace half of the flour for whole wheat flour. Just add another tablespoon of milk.
