Ingredients

1 egg
1 egg white or one whole egg
2 ripe bananas about 7 oz/200 g in total
45 g (3 tbsp) maple syrup or honey
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp ground cinnamon
⅙ tsp salt
180 g (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.

Notes

Storage Directions

To Store: Let the banana bread cool completely at room temperature. Once cooled, store in an airtight container or wrap in foil at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to 5 days.
To Freeze: Place in a freezer-safe container or ziplock bag and freeze for up to 3 months. When ready to eat, thaw and heat in the oven for a couple of minutes.
