Mash three ripe bananas in a mixing bowl using a fork or potato masher until the mixture is quite smooth with just a few small lumps for texture.

Add one large beaten egg, half a cup of Greek yogurt, a tablespoon of vanilla extract, and around 5 tablespoons of honey to the mashed bananas and mix it all together until everything is combined.

Put three cups of rolled oats into a blender or food processor.

Add 1 teaspoon of salt, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon to the oats.

Blend until the oats turn into a fine even flour and everything looks fully powdered with no visible flakes of oats left.

Pour the oat flour into a large mixing bowl.

Add the banana mixture to the bowl and stir until everything is fully combined.

Scoop all of the batter into a standard 9x5 inch loaf pan lined with parchment paper.

Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to gently spread the batter out, making sure it fills the pan evenly from edge to edge.

Sprinkle some oat flakes on top of the batter before baking.

Bake the banana bread in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) for about 50 minutes until the top is golden brown.
