Oat Flour Banana Bread Recipe
Description
Oat Flour Banana Bread Recipe uses mashed extra-ripened bananas, oat flour, and a mix of coconut sugar and maple syrup as sweeteners. The recipe includes baking soda and powder alongside cinnamon for leavening and flavor. Coconut oil adds moisture and richness. The batter is mixed gently and left to rest to allow the oat flour to fully hydrate, providing a moist but structured crumb. Chocolate chips can be folded in and also used as a topping before baking to add texture and sweetness.
The baking process involves a moderate temperature for about 50-60 minutes, with a foil tent option to prevent over-browning. The finished bread has a slightly darker color because of the coconut sugar and maple syrup, with a tender crumb and sweet banana flavor highlighted by cinnamon.
This banana bread works well sliced for breakfast, snacks, or a lightly sweet dessert. It pairs well with spreads like butter or nut butters. It stores well at room temperature or refrigerated, with freezing possible for longer keeping.
Allowing the batter to rest is important for texture; watch for over-browning and cover if needed. Substitutions for oil and sweeteners can be made according to preference, and various mix-ins like nuts or dried fruit can be included. Reheat slices briefly to enjoy freshness.
Ingredients
- 2 large egg room temperature
- 1 cup banana extra spotty, brown), about 2 or 3 bananas, mashed
- ½ cup coconut oil melted
- ½ cup maple syrup
- ½ cup coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups oat flour 240g, spooned & leveled
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it well.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: eggs, mashed banana, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, coconut sugar, and vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: oat flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon.
- Combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients. Mix the two together using a rubber spatula until there are no visible traces of flour. Mix in chocolate chips or walnuts, if desired.
- Let the batter sit for 5 minutes - oat flour needs time to soak up the wet ingredients.
- Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan. Top with mini chocolate chips and/or walnuts.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes. If it is browning too quickly, place an aluminum foil cover on top after 35 minutes. The banana bread is done when there's a nice crack in the middle and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Mine took about 54 minutes, so keep an eye on it.
- Enjoy your homemade oat flour banana bread!
Notes
- Let the batter rest for 5 minutes so the oat flour absorbs moisture, improving the texture.
- If the bread browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil after 35 minutes to avoid over-browning while baking through.
- Variations in sweeteners and fats are possible: use butter or other oils, and honey or other liquid sweeteners as substitutes.
- This banana bread can be frozen for up to 3 months; wrap well and thaw before serving.
- Store wrapped at room temperature up to 5 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
- Reheat slices in the microwave or toaster for a few seconds to warm before eating.
