Ingredients:
▢1 egg
▢1 egg white, or one whole egg
▢2 bananas, very ripe
▢45 grams (3 tbsp) maple syrup, or honey
▢1 tsp vanilla extract
▢1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
▢1/6 tsp salt
▢180 grams (1 3/4 cups) oat flour, or preferred flour
▢15 to 45 ml (1 to 3 tbsp) milk of choice, to consistency
▢1 1/2 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.
