Pin Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 1 egg white or one whole egg
- 2 bananas very ripe
- 45 grams (3 tbsp) maple syrup or honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ⅙ tsp salt
- 180 grams (1 ¾ cups) oat flour or preferred flour
- 15 to 45 ml (1 to 3 tbsp) milk of choice to consistency
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
Instructions
- Heat oven to 180 C° (350 F°) and fold a 20 cm (7.9 inches) loaf pan with parchment paper or grease with oil.
- In a large mixing bowl mash the ripe bananas with a fork until completely smooth, then stir in egg, egg white, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon and a pinch of salt. Mix well, until you get a smooth batter.
- Incorporate into the mixture the oat flour and the baking powder. Stir the banana bread batter, while gradually pouring in the milk. Start with little milk (about 1 tablespoon) and add up to 3 tablespoons (45 ml) only if the batter is still too dry.
- Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan. Bake in hot oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of your low calorie banana bread comes out clean.
- Remove the dessert from the oven and let cool in the loaf pan for about 15 minutes. Finally, take it out of the pan and let cool completely before slicing.
