I know there are endless banana bread recipes to choose from, but let me tell you why I love this one. It’s made with oat flour, so it’s packed with fiber and protein. Plus, it is more dense than traditional banana bread so it is a hearty breakfast that will keep you sustained until lunch! Banana bread is a delicious classic recipe and this one is moist with the banana taste you know and love but you can eat it guilt free for breakfast or a snack during the day.
To make this recipe you will need:
- One Medium Mixing Bowl
- Bread Pan + Parchment Paper
- Bananas: ideally ones that are browned and really ripe
- Eggs
- Maple Syrup
- Plant Based Milk: I like to use Elmhurst 1925 Almond or Cashew
- Vanilla Extract
- Baking Soda
- Cinnamon
- Oat Flour: you can either buy store bought oat flour or make your own by using a blender or food processor until they become a flour. If you make your own flour, start with 2 cups of flour instead of 2 ½ cups and if your mixture is still very liquidy add another ½ cup.
- Chocolate Chips: my go-to are Hu Gems because they are refined sugar free
Tips:
- I have not tried using any other flours other than oat (flours are not a 1:1 substitute) so just be careful if you choose to switch out the oat flour for something different
- You can make these into muffins instead
How to Store
- You can store at room temperature for 2-3 days by covering the bread pan with Bee’s Wrap or tin foil. You can store in the refrigerator for up to a week and in the freezer for up to 4 months by wrapping it in plastic wrap, then in tin foil, and placing it in a plastic ziploc bag.
