Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups GF old fashioned rolled oats
- 2 cups very ripe mashed bananas
- ½ cup pure honey
- ⅓ cup liquid melted coconut oil plus more for pan
- 1 ½ TB vinegar
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
- ½ tsp table salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- ⅔ cup dried unsweetened blueberries (or other dried fruit)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F, with rack on lower middle position. Grease the bottom and sides of a 9x5 loaf pan. Set aside.
- Blend oats in blender until it becomes oat flour. It should be like powder. Add all remaining ingredients, except for dried blueberries. Blend briefly just until mixture is smooth; don't over blend. Transfer batter to a bowl and use rubber spatula to fold in dried berries. Transfer into greased pan, evenly spreading out the top. Bake 40-45 min or just until toothpick inserted in center comes out almost clean, with a few tender crumbs attached. Don't over-bake to avoid dryness.
- Let cool in pan completely before serving.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- * To be sure this recipe is gluten-free, double check that baking powder, baking soda, etc. are labeled GF.* For easy removal from pan, wait until bread is completely cooled. Use thin sharp knife to carefully separate bread from edges of pan. Invert over a serving plate and give the bottom of pan a few strong pats. Bread should pop right out.
