    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 (5×7). 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

    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 !
