Prep Time 10 minutes mins
Cook Time 40 minutes mins
Total Time 50 minutes mins
- 1.25 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 large banana mashed
- 1 15oz can pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 4 mini loaf pans with coconut oil.
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and chia seeds. Add the banana, pumpkin, vanilla, and applesauce and stir together until combined.
Scoop the mixture into the loaf pans about ¾ of the way to the top and smooth with the back of a spoon. Bake in the oven for 35-45 minutes or until browned on the outside and toothpick comes out clean. I usually go for 40 minutes, because they do firm up substantially during the cooling process. Slice and serve or freeze for up to 3 months for optimal freshness.
