Рецепт Banana, Oatmeal & Wholewheat Bread – A Healthy Breakfast Loaf
On any normal day my freezer stock more overripe and blackened bananas than ice cubes, more so because I like baking with bananas and love banana smoothies as a filling breakfast treat and always end up buying extra for the same. This Eggless Banana & Oatmeal Wholewheat Bread was yet another extremely moist and delightful bake for our Sunday breakfast. Since I did not get time to de frost the banana in the morning, I grated the banana and was happy to see a fluffy and evenly baked bread. Grated frozen banana did the magic here!
Although Baking and eggs go hand in hand as eggs give a light and fluffy texture to the baked goodies, I find baking without eggs really challenging and love to see the results each time that my batter is in the oven. The ubiquitous question ‘Will it or won’t it..rise‘ keeps the adrenalin high! And my baking eggless recipes is purely on health grounds and not due to any sort of allergy or an ethical reasons.

Rich and loaded with banana and wholegrain ..
Light brown sugar and palm sugar gives a beautiful yellow hue to the bread.

Can you spot the tiny black threads in the loaf…it is courtesy a special banana variety, which is very sweet with seeds and small threads inside.
wholesome breakfast treat!
Two large slices and you are done with a healthy and filling breakfast for the day.
A slice of delight.
Cool it ‘completely’ before slicing. I am stressing on the word ‘completely’ here, as you can see the uneven slices that I got. My children lost patience after inhaling the heady aromas of the cinnamon infused banana bread for 40 odd minutes
Serve each slice of this Eggless Banana & Oatmeal Wholewheat Bread with any fresh fruit preserve or the most famous can’t do without kitchen Aid – Nutella.
Notes;
Omit sugar if you wish for a completely sugar free bake. Banana sweetness is perfect for the loaf.
This bread is not very sweet and you could increase the sugar to 1/2 or 3/4 th cup for a sweeter version.
Add more milk if you feel the batter is not of free flowing texture.
You can never make out that this loaf has oats in it, a healthy option for kids snack box.
