I think it's time for another twist on banana bread, don't you? As you know, I LOVE banana bread and I love to try new varieties. This one delivered a big punch on flavor with the addition of agave (you could also use honey) which gave it a little bit of a floral-y flavor and I love the heartiness that is added by the rolled oats. I hope you enjoy!
Whole Wheat Oatmeal Banana Bread (adapted from ambitiouskitchen.com)
3 medium bananas, mashed
1/3 c. agave (or honey)
1/3 c. unsweetened applesauce
1 t. vanilla extract
1 large egg
3/4 c. vanilla almond milk
1 1/2 c. white whole wheat flour
1 c. + 1 T. rolled oats
1 1/2 t. baking powder
3/4 t. baking soda
1/4 t. salt
1 t. cinnamon
Preheat the oven to 350. Spray a 9" loaf pan with cooking spray and set aside. In a large bowl combine mashed banana, agave (or honey), applesauce, vanilla, egg and almond milk and mix well with a hand mixer. In a separate medium bowl whisk together the flour, 1 c. oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir together until just combined.
Pour into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle 1 T. oats on top. Bake for 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to cook completely.
