Ingredients

Streusel Topping

Dry Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup packed light brown sugar
  • ¼ cup coconut oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 medium ripe bananas mashed (~1 cup)
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup plain 2% Greek yogurt
  • ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF and line a standard loaf pan with parchment paper.
  • Prepare the streusel topping first. Add all of the ingredients for the topping to a bowl and cut them together with a fork or your hands until a crumble is formed. Set aside.
    A bowl of dry oatmeal mixture with a gold fork placed inside on a textured surface.
  • Add all of the dry ingredients to a bowl, and mix. Set aside.
    A glass bowl contains a mixture of flour and baking powder, with a metal whisk resting inside, placed on a textured gray surface.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together all of the wet ingredients until well combined. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix to combine*.
    A glass bowl filled with thick, creamy batter is placed on a textured gray surface. A wooden-handled whisk rests inside the bowl.
  • Pour the batter into the lined loaf pan. Bake for 30 minutes, add a tin foil tent to the top of the pan, and bake for an additional 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
    A rectangular baking dish lined with parchment paper contains an unbaked oat crumble mixture on a light textured surface.
  • Remove from the oven and let it sit for 10 minutes before removing from the pan. Transfer the loaf to a wire rack and allow the bread to completely cool before slicing. If you slice the bread too early, it may be too crumbly.

Notes

  • The batter should be pourable. If it is too thick, add 1 tablespoon of almond milk at a time until it thins out.
  • Every oven is different. We tested this recipe 4 times in a few different ovens, and the bake time ranged from 40 to 55 minutes. Be sure to do the toothpick test before removing it from the oven.
