A healthy and moist Banana Oatmeal Bread made with ripe bananas, whole wheat pastry flour, and rolled oats, sweetened naturally with maple syrup. This wholesome bread is perfect for breakfast or a nutritious snack.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas mashed
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • ½ cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1.5 cups whole wheat pastry flour
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ⅛ tsp nutmeg
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a bread loaf pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy removal.
  2. Mash Bananas: Mash the ripe bananas in a large bowl until smooth and well combined.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: Add the eggs, maple syrup, and almond milk to the mashed bananas and mix until fully combined.
  4. Add Oats: Stir in the rolled oats and let the mixture sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the oats to absorb some moisture.
  5. Add Dry Ingredients: Add the whole wheat pastry flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, and baking soda to the wet mixture. Gently mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Pour Batter: Pour the batter into the prepared parchment-lined bread pan and spread it evenly.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness and moisture.
  • Letting oats soak slightly improves the texture of the bread.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread tender and fluffy.
  • If you prefer, substitute the almond milk with any other milk or a dairy-free alternative.
  • Storage: Keep the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
