Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups (300g) whole wheat flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 1/3 cups (300g) mashed overripe banana
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup (60g) light brown sugar, packed
- 1/3 cup (60g) canola oil
- 2/3 cup (150g) unsweetened oat milk (or milk of choice)
- 1/3 cup (75g) plain Greek yogurt
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp almond extract (optional but highly recommend)
- 1/2 cup (80g) sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉ and line or spray a 9x5 loaf pan.
- In a medium size mixing bowl, add the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Whisk to combine and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash your banana if it's not already mashed. Add the eggs and brown sugar. Whisk until well combined. Add in the oil, milk, Greek yogurt, vanilla and almond extract. Whisk until well combined.
- Add the dry mixture into the wet mixture and using a spatula, fold together gently until half combined. Add in the sprinkles and fold together until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. If you want that traditional looking crack in the middle once baked, run your spatula lengthwise down the middle of the batter making a line in the batter. Bake for 55-60 minutes or until the top springs back when touched.
- Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to completely cool. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months and enjoy!
