Banana Oat Bread

Have some overripe bananas at home? 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

Steps to make your Banana Oat Bread

To start preparing your banana oat bread, you will need to preheat your oven to 350° F. In a large mixing bowl add your three bananas and mash them up. Next, you will mix in the sugar, coconut oil, vanilla extract and the two eggs lightly beaten. Mix until combined.

Next, add the dry ingredients a cup of rolled oats with the oat flour or ground oats, cinnamon, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Then fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Lastly, add half of the white chocolate chips and fold into the bread mixture.

Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and add the batter to it. Add the remaining half of the white chocolate chips to the top of the bread. Bake covered for 40 minutes then, uncover and bake for 15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

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.
