Healthy 5-Ingredient Flourless Banana Bread that’s moist, oaty and naturally sweetened with maple syrup.

Healthy 5-Ingredient Flourless Banana Bread

Gluten Free, Okay by Me!

I promise I’m not going all gluten-free on y’all over here, but my mom recently eliminated gluten from her diet to see if she has an allergy to it that might be causing some skin irritations, which inspired me to create a few more flourless baked goods, like this flourless banana bread recipe, that I can bake for people who don’t or can’t eat gluten. I’ll probably never go gluten-free myself unless I have to for medical reasons, but if I had to, I know I’d survive. There are so many great recipes and products out there that allow you to enjoy baked goodies even if you can’t have gluten. But I can’t imagine a life without glutenous breads, cookies, donuts, etc.! 😉

So it got me thinking, what are some classics that need to be reinvented so that those who don’t eat gluten can still enjoy them? Banana bread came to mind. It’s a breakfast favorite! This gluten-free banana bread recipe is also dairy-free, which can be another tricky ingredient for sensitive digestive systems. I don’t use almonds (or almond flour), walnuts, or pecans in my recipe, either, so no worries for those with nut allergies. And with no added salt, it’s low in sodium, too. And still, it’s incredibly delicious!

5-Ingredient Simple

I kept this recipe so simple that anyone can successfully bake it and so healthy you’d never believe it by how great it still tastes. Just 5 ingredients! And ones that you probably always have on hand: oatmeal, bananas, eggs, maple syrup and baking soda. That’s it, y’all! No white or brown sugar, baking powder, specialty gluten-free flour flours or coconut oil. And, in case simplicity is your thing, skip the bowl and the whisk. With this recipe, there’s no need to stir. You just blend all of the wet ingredients and dry ingredients together in your blender, pour the batter into a loaf pan and bake.

CLICK HERE for all of my flourless quick bread recipes. They’re all easily made in the blender with minimal ingredients and you’d never believe they don’t have any flour, butter, oil or granulated sugar in them.

How to Make Healthy 5-Ingredient Flourless Banana Bread

First, preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease 9×5-inch loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.

Add all ingredients to a blender, in the order listed, and blend until smooth and well combined. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. (Garnish the top of the batter with thinly sliced banana, if desired) Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Let loaf cool completely in loaf pan. Store bread in an airtight container on the counter for 2-3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. That’s it!

It’s one of those recipes I can bake amidst the craziness of a weekday morning and we can enjoy it warm right out of the oven before rushing out the door for the day. It’s also great the next day and the next as the sugars in the bananas continue to release and make the bread even more moist and sweet. Yum! Yum!

Healthy 5-Ingredient Flourless Banana Bread

I LOVE the texture of this loaf! It’s super moist yet still has a hearty oaty texture from the ground oats. Maple syrup and ripe bananas act as the sweeteners and are one of my favorite flavor combos. Have you ever dipped banana slices in a little maple syrup as a snack?! So delicioso!

See How Easy it is!

You’ll fall in love with how easy this loaf is to bake and how great you can feel about eating it often for breakfast or a snack. I have the recipe memorized to where I can actually have it in the oven before my coffee even finishes brewing in the morning. That’s my kind of recipe, y’all! Hope you enjoy it too!

Description

Just 5 ingredients to make this healthy loaf of banana bread that’s moist, oaty and naturally sweetened with maple syrup.


Ingredients

  • 3 medium ripe bananas
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup (or honey)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease 9×5-inch loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
  2. Add all ingredients to a blender, in the order listed, and blend until smooth and well combined. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. (Garnish the top of the batter with thinly sliced banana, if desired) Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  3. Let loaf cool completely in loaf pan. Store bread in an airtight container on the counter for 2-3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Notes

3 medium bananas is about 1-1/4 cups mashed banana or 1 pound.

Oven temperatures vary so just make sure you test it with a toothpick to make sure it’s baked all the way through. Mine usually takes right at 30 minutes, but others have said theirs takes closer to 40-45 minutes.

Try not to over-blend the batter as this will cause the oats to warm and start cooking into oatmeal which will prevent the loaf from baking with a bread-like texture.

        Hi Laurie! With the bananas, eggs and maple syrup the batter should blend very easily. I wonder if something is wrong with your blender blades. I use a Ninja, but I have used my mom’s older KitchenAid blender several times to make this bread with no issues. Sorry I couldn’t be of more help.

        Hi Moni! Oh no, I hate to hear this. It sounds like you over-blended the batter which would cause the oats to warm and start cooking which prevents them from baking into a bread-like texture. The oats had already turned into oatmeal which is why they didn’t bake correctly. Sorry it didn’t work successfully for you. If you get a chance to try it again, it really is such a delicious recipe. Take care!

      I tried the 5 ingredient oatmeal banana bread recipe and even with three very sweet bananas I could not taste banana. I’m wondering if a touch of vanilla extract might bring out the flavor? Also I had difficulty getting it to blend up but think putting wet ingredients in blender first would help.

      • Maegan says

        May 31, 2018 at 10:36 am

        Hi Kathy! You could certainly add vanilla if you want to try to enhance the banana flavor. And yes, if your blender had a hard time with the dry ingredients on bottom, putting the wet ingredients on bottom instead is definitely worth a try. Enjoy!

      • Yvette Scheiman says

        January 30, 2019 at 3:32 pm

        It DEFINITELY worked better to put the wet ingredients first! I use an old glass Osterizer Blender. The first time, I tried stacking wet and dry ingredients and it seemed dryer and harder to blend. I used a silicone spatula to push stuff down (being careful with the blades, of course), but when I put all the wet ingredients FIRST the second time I made it, I had an easier time of it.

    Sounds delish but it must be noted that unless you specifically use gluten free oats, the recipe is not truly gluten free as oats contain gluten (although maybe not as problematic as wheat gluten). Otherwise it looks yummy and it will definitely be something I will try.

      Yes that was something I wasn’t aware of. I made this and thought it was gluten free, which luckily, isn’t a dietary concern for me. It was easy and turned out good. I used a regular mixer and added a touch of vanilla and cinnamon. I liked the texture, but definitely not similar to the banana bread I usually make. I would love to know calorie count

      Old baking soda will get bitter, You may have put too much in, The bananas may have been bitter. I’ve tried to eat bananas a few times that looked beautiful but were bitter and gross tasting. I started putting my entire box of baking soda into a ziploc bag to prevent it from absorbing moisture or being impacted by scents/flavors in the air. If you keep your baking soda on a shelf above your stove and do a lot of cooking in a skillet or pot, the steam and molecules from what you are cooking WILL migrate into the baking soda and change its flavor.

      Use ripe (brown and soft) bananas. I usually use baking powder only for baked goods. I know there is a difference between baking soda and baking powder, but my baked goods are never bitter! Also adding a teaspoon of banana extract gives a wonderful banana flavor.

      Hi Valeria! I haven’t tried it so I couldn’t say for sure, but whole wheat flour absorbs less liquid than ground oatmeal so if you do try it, I’d recommend replacing the 2 cups oats with 1-1/2 cups whole wheat flour. I hope this helps. Enjoy!

    I made two loaves of this tonight. YUM. It’s like a big goey oatmeal loaf! The consistency is awesome and it’s just the right amount of sweetness. I “ripened” my bananas by poking holes in the peels and microwaving them for 30 minutes and I used my food processor instead of a blender. So easy!

        May 25, 2017 at 6:55 am

        Hi Roseleen! Purchased oat flour has been through more processing than just blending whole oats so you might loose some of the nutrients, but essentially they are very similar and oat flour can be substituted in this recipe. Since I haven’t tested the recipe with oat flour, I would recommend starting with less than 2 cups since blending 2 cups whole oats would result in less than 2 cups once it’s actually blended. Enjoy!

    To be gluten free this cannot contain oatmeal without using GF oatmeal.

But I now have GF oatmeal and will be making this tonight.

      Hi Meghan! I wouldn’t recommend it because the blender really grinds the oatmeal, whips in the eggs and blends all the ingredients in such a way that contributes to the bread-like texture. It’s worth a try though, but the texture will probably be more like baked oatmeal.

      I use a coffee grinder (never used for coffee beans). I use it to grind the oats. Then place in oats in a bowl, and I add the rest of the dry ingredients. I then add the mashed bananas, maple syrup. I whip the eggs separately to add a little air to them. Then add to other ingredients. Mix all together without a blender or mixer. Works great.
      In addition, I add cinnamon, cloves, and nuts. Then I sprinkle additional nuts on top.
      Great recipe.

    I made two loaves of this bread last night. At first, they rose up nicely and were very light and fluffy. Then after checking and the bread was still raw in the middle, I baked again for a few minutes and they fell. The loaves came out heavy and flat. I used sugar-free pancake syrup instead of the maple. I mixed mine in a food processor. Any suggestions?

      Hi Niffa! You really need to use a blender for this recipe. I’m not sure a food processor could get the batter as blended and smooth as it should be. If the sugar-free pancake syrup is thinner than maple syrup it might have changed the consistency of the batter as well.

        Maybe next time I’ll only add 1/4 cup of sugar but it didn’t taste overly sweet as it is.
        I don’t know if there’s something wrong with my oven or the settings, or maybe it’s my town’s altitude that changes the baking time? I had to bake it for almost one and half hour! And I think it could stand a little more in the oven. But anyways it was delicious! Oh and I also grouded the oats in a food processor before blending. 🙂

I’ve never tried it with those additions, so I couldn’t say for sure how much of each would be best to add and if there are any other adjustments that need to be made to accommodate them in the loaf. Maybe try covering it with foil so it continues to bake but doesn’t burn on top. I hope it turns out!

    I made this banana bread exactly as described, except I added a quarter cup walnuts before blending. Once I put everything in the blender, I wished I had halved the mix so that the blender could handle it. It never got all the contents blending together, just the bottom third. I manually mixed the top and the bottom of the blender contents and hit blend again, repeating this step several times. I cooked it 30 minutes at 350 degrees and it still had uncooked sections.

    I know I can make it appealing to eat by slicing it and putting it under the broiler to get crispy, but am wondering what went wrong. Is my blender not powerful enough?

      Hi Margaret! It sounds like it might have something to do with your blender. The batter should mix together easily and quickly in a good blender. It needs to be well blended so the oats turn very fine and the eggs get blended really good throughout to create the right bread texture.

    Hey, just wanted to say the first time I made this bread it turned out perfect other than I had to bake it for about an extra 10 mins, which is no big deal. The second time I added the oats first in to my blender then the other ingredients and my blender was having trouble, I think it got too dense in the bottom once some moisture hit it. So next time I will follow the ingredients list from top to bottom and it will work better. Thank you muchly for this recipe, it’s super easy and fast to prepare and very yummy!! I love it.

    Hi Maegan
    I love this recipe. It’s so easy to do I throw it all in the nutribullet. I don’t have maple syrup but honey works well as a substitute although I use less if the bananas are very ripe. Lastly I throw in some raisins and cinnamon as it’s a favourite flavour combination here
    Thanks

    I just baked a loaf now, and couldn’t wait for it to cool completely before eating a slice (the aroma was so enticing!). This is wonderful! I have IBS, and wheat seems to be one of the things that sets off my symptoms, so I’ve been missing the goodies. I’ve been combing the ‘net for gluten-free recipes that did not include unusual ingredients (like xanthan gum) that seem to cause more issues for me. This banana bread fits the bill perfectly! It’s good, healthy, and very easy to make! Your Mom is very lucky to have such a good daughter! Thank you from somebody else’s Mom. 🙂

    Pretty good for only being 5 ingredients. It was a little bland even though I did use very ripe bananas. Next time I may add pumpkin. Took twice the time to bake than the suggested time. Overall it was a good recipe with clean and easy ingredients.

      Hi Sally! I haven’t tested the recipe with agave, but I think it would be a great substitute. You might want to reduce the oven temperature by 25° and maybe even tent the bread with foil toward the end of the baking time as agave tends to brown faster. I hope it turns out great! Enjoy!

      Hi Michelle! You could try substituting the other cup of oats with cornmeal, flour, quinoa, buckwheat, millet, or even crushed cereal such as corn flakes or Rice Krispies. Not sure how any of these would turn out as I haven’t tried it, but hoping you have something that works well in its place. Enjoy!

      Hi An! I usually recommend 1/4 cup mashed banana or 3 tablespoons applesauce in place of 1 egg in baked goods, but for this recipe, I would recommend replacing the egg with 1 teaspoon of baking soda mixed with 1 tablespoon of white vinegar to get the leavening benefits that the egg provides. Hope this helps. Enjoy!

    I just made this and thanks so much for sharing! Mine turned out great and it’s less of a cake (like most quick breads tend to be) and more like a bread ???? and that’s what I was looking for exactly when trying out quick bread recipes.
    To be honest, I humbly admitted I did not follow the recipe to a T. I already have oat flour on hand (store bought, organic) so I gave the blending step a miss. All I used was a bowl and a fork. Mashed the bananas with a fork, add eggs and beat them together like I would to make an omelette, added 2T maple syrup and 2T date syrup (only because I ran out of maple syrup) and continue mixing with a fork.
    Then I added the oat flour and here is where I steered from the recipe, I used 1tsp of homemade baking powder instead of baking soda just because I felt I needed the bread to rise more and since this recipe doesn’t call for any acids I guess I could ditch the soda altogether.
    I did top the bread with sliced banana and threw in some roasted cashew.
    This bread is so easy with so few healthy ingredients and tasty and I look forward to baking it again in near future and may play around with the add ins.
    Thanks for providing a base for an easy GF banana bread, something me and my son (both of us GI) can enjoy.

    I was so surprised by the result of this banana bread – it was delicious!!! Really moist and dense, with lots of banana flavor and the perfect amount of sweetness.
    I made some substitutions to work with what I already had in the pantry:
    I traded 1 cup of steel cut oats for the 2 cups of rolled oats annotated (steel cut uses more moisture, so this ended up being a pretty good measurement for replacement). Just be sure to blend it a bit longer to break down the oats. It gives the bread a little “bite”, but I really found that pleasant.
    I also didn’t have baking soda, so I used 3-4 teaspoons of baking powder. Powder is much less potent, so while this may sound like a lot, it was actually perfect.
    Finally, I did half honey and half maple syrup as my maple syrup is a bit too dark and strong.

    For those asking about nutritional facts… Here’s what I came up with (this remains the same with 2 cups of rolled oats or 1 cup of steel oats):

    Per serving, or a 1-inch slice (8 servings total):
    158 calories
    2.6 g fat
    30.4 g carbs
    3.2 g fiber

    This recipe looked so promising, but unfortunately, followed the recipe to a T and now just have a burnt on the outside, raw on the inside mess. It was in the oven for over an hour (hence why it’s burnt) but can’t for the life of me work out why it’s still raw…. also seems like I’m not the only one. Any ideas on what went wrong?

      Hi Michaela! If the bread was burnt on the outside and still raw on the inside, I’m thinking it has something to do with your oven temperature, the placement of the loaf in your oven, or the pan you’re using. Oven temperatures can vary quite a bit. I would recommend baking it on the center rack or one rack above the center in your oven. Did you use a 9×5-inch loaf pan? Also, did you blend the batter until smooth. It’s such a great recipe that lots of people bake successfully every day so I’d love to help you troubleshoot so you can experience the same deliciousness.

    Hi! I made this yesterday. I used food processor and I don’t think I whizzed it long enough as my batter wasn’t smooth. I also added some walnuts and blackberries which I think made it more moist so I added some extra oats (whole).
    It’s a lovely dense, moist cake and I actually like the oatmealy texture of it.
    Took 45min to bake in my oven.
    Recipe is definitely a keeper as it’s a fab, simple base for a whole lot of different flavour combinations.
    I also popped a slice in the freezer just to check how it keeps (will report back next week when a work colleague comes back from holiday).

    1) can I use just egg whites instead of whole eggs?
    2) if I substitute baking powder for baking soda (as in an earlier reply, just triple it), will it still work? Or is it better to go out and buy baking soda?
    3) if I eliminated the maple syrup altogether, would that be terrible? Or just not as sweet? I’m not a big sweet tooth, but want to set myself up for success!

      Hi Anees! Yes, you can use all egg whites. I would suggest using 2 egg whites for each egg, so 4 egg whites total. If you substitute baking powder for the baking soda, it might give off a bitter taste because you have to use so much of it, but it will work. If you leave out the maple syrup, I would suggest adding another ripe banana for both the flavor and moisture as the maple syrup contributes to the moisture of the bread. Hope this helps! Enjoy!

    I made this with a few substitutions: used cracked and toasted oats from Costco, 2 tbs of powdered chia seeds in water (as my egg substitute) and 1/4 honey because I had no maple syrup. It was not sweet like most banana breads (because it only had honey) and it was more like bread (rather than the light cakey texture from using all purpose flour). I would not call this a dessert with the lack of sugar content but it was a decent recipe that did let the banana flavor come through more (though not much) than conventional banana bread recipes (when you mostly taste sugar). I do feel better about eating it because it contains strictly wholesome ingredients but it doesn’t quite hit the spot of traditional banana breads. Also, it took closer to 45 minutes to have it fully bake on 350 degrees! Worth giving a try!

    I made it and its ok. It was interesting to blend the mixture. I guess its a healthy version. I just think it was a little gummy sort of. I think I just prefer more of a sponge. Maybe some oats added after the blender to give it a more complex texture and maybe some bananas in the mix that were just mashed and stirred in. & honey & coco powder or a dash of instant coffee granules. Anyway, it was fun to make and its for my buddy Evan & he likes anything I bake so its sure to be a crowd pleaser. And the banana slices on top are mouth-watering.

    hi! I’m so glad to have discovered this recipe and it’s become my go-to portable breakfast. I found the baking time to be quite low – 45 minutes was about right for me.

    I also played with the ratios of flour/oats and have been using 1 cup oats, 1/2 cup AP flour (those go in the blender with the rest of the ingredients) and then stirring in another 1/2 cup of whole rolled oats and a few handfuls of chopped walnuts. it yields a bit more of a traditional banana bread texture – slightly more cakey, but using waaay less AP flour than a traditional recipe.

    Hi Maegan,
    I just made your banana bread–saw it on Pinterest and it looked oh so good! I was out of eggs, but wanted to make this anyway, so I decided to use flax eggs instead and I think it dried out the bread. Eggs keep things moist and I think the flax wasn’t a good substitute. But it baked up beautifully and I definitely want to try it again with the eggs!

    I love how easy this is and mine came out super moist. Only thing was it was a touch bland and my bananas were extremely ripe, I didn’t skip the maple syrup either. Could it be the baking soda doing that or how could I adjust for next time I wonder?

      Hi Nikki! It could be a matter of preference for sweetness. You could try increasing the maple syrup by a tablespoon or two next time and see if that tastes better for you. You could try to reduce the baking soda, but the loaf would turn out denser. Hope this helps.

      September 2, 2018 at 7:46 am

      Hi Grace! It sounds like you may have over blended the batter which caused the batter to heat up and start cooking the egg and oatmeal resulting in a partially cooked pudding like consistency before even baking. I’ve heard the Vitamix can heat foods while blending so maybe that’s what happened. Next time, try blending it on less power and just until the oats are ground. Hope this helps!

But mostly baking it as written. We even serve it as dessert for company — without disclaimer — using whipped cream cheese sweetened with Equal for frosting. When I tell our guests the ingredients — people that usually skip dessert end up having seconds and thirds. Oh — gotta go — oven timer just went off …

      Hi Emily! It’s tough to leave out the maple syrup as the liquid of the syrup contributes to the texture of the bread as it blends and bakes. Without it, you would need to add an alternate moist ingredient. You could try adding extra banana instead but I couldn’t say for sure how it would turn out without the maple syrup. If the bananas you use are really ripe, they will provide a good amount of natural sweetness so that you could still enjoy it if you’re okay with it being barely sweetened. Hope this helps. Enjoy!

    Just made your 5 ingredient flourless banana bread for the first time today. After I had read probably 3/4 of the comments here so as I was reading I thought I should try putting in the little bit of blueberries I had in frig. So I did. I cut back just a little on the maple syrup and I only had 1 cup of mashed banana so I added about a cup and a third of blueberries, because that’s what I had left, and baked it approximately 40 minutes oh and added walnuts as well, it turned out fabulous. I know that because I had 2 slices before it cooled off, YUMMY! I do think next time I wouldn’t use that many blueberries though it was a little too much. Very good I love it. Thank you.

    I, unfortunately, had a new bag of steel cut oats instead of rolled. And I just did 1-1 substitution, which made it dry and chewy. Still, have half a bag left, any advice on how to incorporate it better would be great!

    Other than that the flavor was perfect. Used honey and the sweetness was perfect.

After reading the ideas in the comments, I added some vanilla essence and protein powder, plus a tiny bit of coconut milk (drinking, not the thick stuff) as my eggs weren’t that large. I also added a tsp of white vinegar to help with the rise and it rose beautifully. I topped with walnuts drizzled with maple syrup and only added a small amount of syrup to the mix as my bananas were super ripe. Everything blended up perfectly with my stick blender in a large bowl. It took half an hour in my oven. Thanks for such a delicious, easy and healthy recipe!

    My grandchildren and I love it. I blended the oats in my bullet first and túrned them into a flour consistency. I was at my daughter’s, and didn’t have a full size blender, so I mixed the rest by hand. First we mashed the bananas in one bowl, other bowl I put oat “flour” , eggs, baking soda, and substituted honey for maple syrup. Poured bananas on top and used a spatula spoon to mix together, added craisens. Divided the batter into 2 bread pans coated with coconut oil non stick spray. Baked about 35 minutes and it came out amazing, moist and delicious. I’m happy as is, but my son in law felt it was a little blander than regular banana bread. I’m thinking for 1/4 the calories it’s delish. But I will try adding a tsp salt, tsp vanilla, and tsp cinnamon. Won’t add calories, and will add a little more depth. But it’s definitely a winner I’ll be going to again and again. Thank you.

      Hi Jodie! You really need the oats to be blended with the other ingredients for the texture of the bread to bake correctly. Do you have a food processor, chopper or something you could grind the oats in. You could also use oat flour if you happen to have it. Hope this helps. Enjoy!

        So I made this yesterday as muffins. First thing I did was blend in the blender the oats by itself into a “fine sand”. Then I added the other dry ingredients and stirred. Then I added the wet ingredients & blended. I didn’t have any eggs so I substituted it for 6 tbsp mayo. I also added 1 tsp cinnamon and vanilla extract .
        Delicious and filling😋!

    This banana bread is AMAZING! I’m always looking for good banana recipes because I live in Florida and have several banana plants in my backyard. It’s hard to come up with ways to eat 80 bananas when they all ripen at the same time. 🙂 Enter, your banana bread! I love it! It is my go-to banana bread now because 1) it’s easy! 2) it’s fast! 3) I always have the ingredients on hand! 4) it’s healthier than traditional banana bread and 5) it’s DELICIOUS! Win-win-win-win-win in my book. I cut the recipe in half and bake them in little mini loaf pans because I will sit down and eat an entire full sized loaf of this stuff given the chance. (Also, not sure what super blender you are using, but my little blender couldn’t handle the oats so I used my food processor, which does the job beautifully, but can only fit half the recipe at a time.) So thanks for this recipe, because it is my new favorite way to use my bananas!

    5 stars! I am finicky about my banana bread or muffins and I haven’t found “my recipe” until this one. This was the first no oil recipe I had tried, and it made the difference for my taste buds. This recipe is perfect for those who don’t like baked goods too sweet. I used honey (preference), put chopped walnuts on top and sprinkled with cinnamon and coconut sugar (lightly). I wanted muffins, so I baked at 375 F for 18-20 minutes. We also did some with chocolate chips but much preferred the nut version. I subscribed to your page and look forward to more recipe searching !

    Hiya, I tried this recipe yesterday but the middle/bottom is hard and dense (perhaps undercooked) even though it was in the oven for over 45 mins. I can see you have said in other comments that you can over blend the recipe which causes the oats to start cooking, how long would you recommend to blend this for to avoid this from happening?

    Thanks!

      Hi Sophie! I use a Ninja blender and blend the batter for about 10 seconds, scrap down the sides and then blend for another 10-15 seconds until the ingredients are combined and the oats are mostly ground. Hope this helps and that you’re able to try the recipe again soon with better success. Enjoy!

    I made this today and followed the recipe. Had it in the oven for over an hour and it still did not bake through. Do the oats have to be blended beforehand and then fill 2 cups? Maybe this was the mistake? It smelled delicious but really don’t know what went wrong, I had to throw it out 🙁

    Reply
    • The BakerMama says

      May 1, 2021 at 11:21 am

      Hi zaza! It sounds like you might have over-blended the batter. If the oats are over-blended, they will start to warm and cook into oatmeal which prevents them from baking into a bread-like texture. If you find that your blender overworks the batter to get it blended all the way or heats the batter too much, I would recommend blending the 2 cups oats first and then just mixing them with the other ingredients in a mixing bowl. Hope this helps and that you’re able to try it again with success.

      Hi Lauren! If you can replace the oats with oat flour, you can still bake the bread without a blender. The blender does help blend the eggs and other ingredients together so the loaf rises and bakes into a bread-like texture using oats, but oat flour will bake up just as great. Enjoy!

Sometimes I’ll add a sprinkle of stevia if my bananas are smaller, or just add a 4th banana. It’s a good base for adding other flavors too: vanilla, lemon zest, nuts, etc.

Just make sure you have really ripe bananas for plenty of moisture and flavor. It certainly wouldn’t hurt to add an additional small banana. I hope it turns out just as great! Enjoy!

    I was staring at 2 very ripe bananas on my counter, wanting to do something with them instead of throwing them away but also realized I didn’t have enough flour for a traditional banana bread. So I dug around the internet until I found this recipe. Since I didn’t have enough bananas, I used apple sauce to make up the difference (about 1/2 cup) which worked just fine and although the finished product didn’t have as much banana flavor, the nuttiness of the oats and the moist texture was excellent. Every morning I’d have a warm, buttered slice until it was all gone. Thanks for this recipe, it was truly ‘a find’!
