Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 medium to large ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 to 1 1/4 cups mashed)
  • 1/3 cup plant-based butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup plant-based milk
  • 1/3 cup natural sweetener (maple syrup or coconut sugar)
  • 1 tsp natural vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups homemade oat flour (ground rolled oats)
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon (natural flavoring)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oat Flour: Place rolled oats in a blender or food processor and pulse until finely ground into oat flour. Avoid over-processing to retain a slightly coarse texture perfect for baking.
  2. Mash the Bananas: In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until almost smooth, leaving a few small lumps to add texture.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: Add softened plant-based butter, plant-based milk, natural vanilla extract, and natural sweetener to the mashed bananas. Mix thoroughly until creamy and well combined.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the homemade oat flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon to evenly distribute the leavening and spice.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet banana mixture, stirring just until incorporated to avoid overmixing, which keeps the bread tender and light.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the loaf to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for optimal sweetness and moisture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread light and fluffy.
  • Start testing doneness with a toothpick 5 minutes before the minimum baking time ends.
  • Cool the banana bread completely before cutting to prevent crumbling.
  • Measure oat flour correctly by lightly spooning into the cup without compacting.
