We know everyone loves quick breads (because hey, they’re quick), and we know everyone loves to bake this time of year. This flourless banana bread will help scratch that itch.
Lots of banana bread recipes use lots of extra sugar, lots of extra oil, and lots of refined floursโall of which might not be the best choices to help you reach your goals. For most of your meals, you want to rely on whole foods, like fruit, whole grains, like oats, and minimize added sugars. That doesn’t mean you can’t have your banana bread and eat it, too, though!
Here’s Gina’s flourless version, using whole oats, whole bananas, maple syrup, and a few basic baking staples. It’s easy, it’s healthy, and you can adjust the portion sizes to fit your macronutrient needs.
Ingredients:
4 ripe bananas
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 cups oats
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
Generous amount of pumpkin pie spice
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all ingredients in a blender (keep one banana whole and place aside). Line a 9×5 pan with parchment paper. Pour batter in pan. Slice remaining banana to put on top, and sprinkle with more pumpkin pie spice. Bake for 30-35 mins.
Hereโs the fat and carb breakdown: 289g carbs per loaf (slice into 12 slices = 24g carbs per slice)10g fat per loaf (.8g fat per slice)
Enjoy!
