Banana Bread with Oat Flour Recipe
A healthier twist on the classic banana bread, made with oat flour for a moist, tender, and naturally sweet treat. Perfect for breakfast, snacks, or dessert.
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas, mashed until smooth and creamy
- 2 cups oat flour (can be made by blending rolled oats)
- 2 eggs (or flax eggs for a vegan option)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust for sweetness)
- 1/3 cup melted coconut oil or butter
- 1/2 cup optional mix-ins (e.g., chocolate chips, nuts, or raisins)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
- Mash the ripe bananas in a large bowl until smooth and creamy.
- Add eggs, honey (or maple syrup), melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
- In a separate bowl, combine oat flour and baking soda.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Avoid overmixing to ensure a tender texture.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 50–60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
