Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 1 egg white (or one whole egg)
- 2 ripe bananas (about 7 oz/200 g)
- 45 g (3 tbsp) maple syrup (or honey)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 20 cm (7.9 inches) loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it with oil.
- Mash the ripe bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Stir in the egg, egg white, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until you have a smooth batter.
- Add the oat flour and baking powder to the mixture, stirring while gradually adding milk, starting with about 1 tablespoon and adding more if necessary.

- Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then cool completely before slicing.
Notes
Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor. For gluten-free, substitute with almond or coconut flour.
