Only 3 Ingredients | Soft, Golden, and Guilt-Free Dessert Bread

Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas (very spotted) — mash them until smooth.

  • 2 large eggs — lightly beaten.

  • 1 cup rolled oats (or quick oats) — you can blend into “oat flour” if preferred.

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 175 °C (350 °F) and line or grease a loaf pan.

  2. In a bowl, mash the bananas until fairly smooth.

  3. Add the beaten eggs to the bananas and mix well.

  4. Stir in the oats (or oat-flour) until everything is well combined.

  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.

  6. Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean and the top is golden. (Exact time may vary with your oven.)

  7. Remove from oven, let it cool in the pan ~10 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool further before slicing.

Notes & Tips

  • The bananas supply the natural sweetness, so no added refined sugar is needed.

  • Using ripe bananas helps both flavour and moisture

  • To make it softer / more bread-like: you could try substituting half the oats with oat flour or adding a splash of milk (though that adds a 4th ingredient).

  • For a “golden” top and colour, you might lightly brush the top of the loaf with a little milk (optional) before baking.

  • This recipe is relatively guilt-free: no added sugar, minimal ingredients; adjust portion sizes accordingly.

  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container; best eaten within 2-3 days.

Serving Suggestions

  • Slice and serve warm with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup (optional).

  • Top with fresh fruit (e.g., bananas, berries) or a dollop of yogurt for dessert.

  • Cut into small slices for a lighter treat or snack.
