# Instructions:
01 -
Heat oven to 350°F (180°C) and fold a 20 cm (7.9 inches) loaf pan with parchment paper or grease with oil.
02 -
In a large bowl, mash the bananas then combine with Greek yogurt, egg, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Stir well until you get a smooth mixture.
03 -
Add into the wet mixture oat flour, almond flour (or more oat flour) and baking powder. Stir the ingredients together, adding chocolate chips if desired. You may need to adjust with little extra flour if the batter is too liquid, or with a splash of milk if it is too dry. This depends on the size of the bananas used.

Transfer your Greek yogurt banana bread batter to the prepared pan, then bake in hot oven for about 30-35 minutes. The loaf is ready when a toothpick inserted into its center comes out clean.
