Ingredients

• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 3 very ripe bananas, about 1 cup
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup brown sugar, lightly packed
• 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 cup old-fashioned oats
• 3/4 cup milk or dark chocolate chips (dark are healthier) - optional

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a bread pan and set aside.

2. Beat together the Greek yogurt, smashed bananas (remove the peel and smash with a fork) and the eggs one at a time.

3. Beat in the vanilla and brown sugar until combined.

4. In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, salt, and baking soda. Add to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined (over stirring or beating will make for a denser bread).

5. Gently stir in the oats and chocolate chips.

6. Transfer the mixture to a bread pan and then bake for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick when inserted comes out clean. You may need to cover the top of the bread with a tin foil tent to keep it from excessively browning. (I added a tin foil tent around 40 minutes each time I cooked this bread).

7. Remove and allow to cool for about 10 minutes before removing from the pan and transferring to a cooling rack.
