Oatmeal Blueberry Banana Bread

This oatmeal blueberry banana bread combines mashed ripe bananas and fresh blueberries with oat flour or rolled oats to create a moist, textured loaf. The bread uses natural sweeteners like pure maple syrup and avocado oil for moistness and flavor. Ground cinnamon and vanilla add warmth, while baking powder and baking soda help it rise. The resulting bread is tender and slightly dense, suitable for breakfast or snacks, providing fruit and whole grain elements in a baked good.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats or 1 3/4 cups oat flour
  • 2 banana 1 cup mashed, ripe
  • 2 egg large
  • 3 Tbsp avocado oil
  • 3 Tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract pure
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt sea salt
  • 1.5 tsp ground cinnamon optional
  • 1 cup blueberries fresh

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a 9” x 5” loaf pan with parchment paper. You can also spray the pan with cooking spray if you don't have parchment paper.
  2. Transfer the oats to a high-powered blender and blend for 30 seconds on a high speed or until a flour forms. If you have oat flour on hand, skip this step and use 1 3/4 cups of oat flour.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas until they’re nice and creamy. Add in the eggs, avocado oil, pure maple syrup, vanilla extract and cider vinegar and whisk until the wet ingredients are well-combined.
  4. Pour in the oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, sea salt and cinnamon (dry ingredients). Mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a thick batter forms.
  5. Gently fold the blueberries into the batter.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared baking dish. If you’d like, top the batter with extra blueberries.
  7. Cover the bread pan with aluminum foil and bake on the center rack of the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Remove the bread from the oven, take off the foil and bake for another 20 to 35 minutes uncovered (for a total of 60 to 75 minutes in the oven).
  8. Bread is considered fully cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of at least 190 degrees Fahrenheit. To verify the bread is cooked through, you can insert an instant read thermometer into the center of the bread to get an accurate temperature read. 
  9. Allow the bread to cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Wrap the bread tightly and refrigerate for up to 5 days to keep fresh.
  • Slice and freeze leftover bread in airtight bags for up to 3 months.
