Banana Oat Bread - Try this easy 12-ingredient banana oat bread, you will love it!

Today I am sharing a sweet recipe, that is really simple and easy to make. I have the freezer filled with overripe bananas. They are great for smoothies. Sometimes I add them to my oatmeal in the morning, and it results in a creamier version without milk. This time I had a couple of bananas sitting on the counter and they were just calling my name. Therefore, I experimented doing some banana bread.

My pantry is always full of oats. There a versatile ingredient used for sweet or savory dishes. I also use the oats make oat flour at home. Just add a few cups of rolled oats to a blender or a food processor, and blend until you get a fine powder, like regular wheat flour.

What you will need to make your banana oat bread

For the recipe, we would need the following utensils, one large mixing bowl, a wooden spoon and a loaf pan (5x7). The ingredients required for the recipe are:

  • Medium sized overripe bananas (3)
  • Brown sugar
  • Coconut oil
  • Vanilla extract
  • Medium size eggs (2), at room temperature
  • Rolled oats, and oat flour
  • Cinnamon
  • Baking powder, salt, and baking soda
  • White chocolate chips

Remove from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before removing from the pan. The result would be a moist and not that sweet bread. Now you can devour your banana oat bread. Enjoy!

Tips for making your banana oat bread

A few tips that I found could be helpful when making this recipe are the following:

  • It is better to use overripe bananas because they are sweeter. They help us use less added sugar.
  • Look for bananas with many brown spots on them, but that are still firm to the touch.
  • You can make this recipe gluten-free if you use certified gluten-free rolled oats.
  • It is easier to make your oat flour at home. Just add to a blender or food processor your rolled oats and blend away until it has a flour consistency.
  • The white chocolate chips create a nice balance and a little extra sweetness.
  • You can replace the white chocolate chip with dark or milk chocolate chips if you prefer. You can omit them completely if you don't like the chocolate chips.
  • For a complete vegan banana oat bread, you can replace the eggs with the mixture of 2 flax eggs (Mix 2 Tbsp flaxseed meal with 5 Tbsp water and let it rest on the countertop for 3 minutes..
  • Covering the bread when baking it, will prevent it from browning too much.
  • Store it in the fridge; it will last for up to 3 days.
  • My recommendation would be, warm up a slice and put some butter on it. Alternatively, if you want it sweeter, after warming up the slice, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

    Hey! I substituted olive oil for coconut oil, and instead of brown sugar, I used stevia. I got an excellent result. I love it!!

    Thanks !
