  • ⏰ Prep Time: 15 minutes

  • ⏰ Bake Time: 50-60 minutes

  • 🍽️ Servings: 12 slices

INGREDIENTS

Dry Ingredients:

  • 180g whole grain flour

  • 50g oatmeal (rolled oats)

  • 5g (1 tsp) baking powder

  • 2g (1 tsp) cinnamon

  • A pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients:

  • 170g honey

  • 2 large eggs

  • 240g mashed ripe bananas (about 3 medium bananas)

  • 60ml vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Add-ins & Topping:

  • 60g walnuts, roughly chopped

  • Extra walnuts for topping

  • Optional: 1 tablespoon of honey for glazing after baking

PREPARATION

  1. Prep: Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.

  2. Toast the Walnuts: Spread the walnuts on a baking sheet and toast in the preheating oven for 5-7 minutes, until fragrant. Let them cool slightly, then chop.

  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole grain flour, oatmeal, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

  4. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk the honey and eggs together until smooth. Add the mashed bananas, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.

  5. Combine: Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Using a spatula, gently fold the mixture together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few streaks of flour are okay.

  6. Fold in Walnuts: Gently fold in the toasted, chopped walnuts.

  7. Bake: Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle with the extra walnuts for topping. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  8. Cool & Glaze: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. If desired, gently warm the extra tablespoon of honey and brush it over the top of the warm bread for a shiny glaze. Allow to cool completely before slicing.
