Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
  2. In a mixing bowl, mash the bananas with a fork to your desired consistency.
  3. Add eggs, Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas and mix well.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine whole wheat flour, oats, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined.
  6. Fold in chocolate chips, if using.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Baking

  2. Allow to cool for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  3. Slice and enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Serve warm, perhaps with a hint of butter or plain. Store wrapped at room temperature for 3-5 days, or slice and freeze for up to 3 months.
