Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas, mashed until smooth

1 cup plain Greek yogurt (or your preferred flavored yogurt for added zest)

1 cup whole wheat flour

1/2 cup rolled oats

1/3 cup honey or maple syrup (for a touch of sweetness)

1/4 cup coconut oil, melted and slightly cooled

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (optional, for indulgence)

1/4 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans; optional, for extra crunch)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). While the oven heats up, line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides to assist with lifting it out later.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and melted coconut oil. Use a fork or whisk to stir thoroughly until you achieve a smooth and homogenous mixture.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and sea salt. Ensure that these ingredients are well mixed to create an even distribution of flavors.

        Combine Mixtures: Slowly add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients. Gently stir until they are just combined; be careful not to overmix. If desired, fold in the dark chocolate chips and chopped nuts at this stage for added flavor and texture.

          Bake: Pour the batter into your prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly to ensure consistent cooking. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes. You’ll know it's ready when the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

            Cool the Squares: Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Carefully lift the banana bread out using the parchment overhang and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

              Freeze: After the banana bread has cooled, cut it into squares. Arrange the squares in a single layer on a baking sheet, and place them in the freezer for 1-2 hours until they are firm.

                Serve: Once frozen, transfer the squares to a zip-top freezer bag or an airtight container for storage. You can enjoy these delightful treats straight from the freezer for a refreshing snack or let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly before enjoying.
