Oat flour banana bread is a hearty, delicious healthy banana bread made with just a few simple ingredients! No refined flour (oat flour only), butter, or dairy!
I had a different recipe planned for today. However, in the light of current events, I thought something warm and comforting, like a slice of delicious hearty banana bread, would be more appropriate than what I had planned. (Ain’t nobody care about how to make butternut squash zig-zags right now, right? Exactly.)
Do you know what’s funny? Four years ago, one day, I decided I wanted to make a bread out of just oat flour, but couldn’t find any recipes that didn’t use refined flour or sugar, so I made my own honey oat flour bread.
Oat Flour Banana Bread Recipe (gluten & Dairy Free)
Since then, I fell in love with baking and cooking with oat flour (see: how to make oat flour and oat flour recipe round-up). It’s the flour I use the most in my kitchen as a binder and for baking. I also love adding oat flour to dessert recipes!
That day I was messing around making my first oat flour recipe creation, I would have never guessed it would become my most popular recipe. So apparently you guys love baking and cooking with oat flour as much as I do.
Soon after, you guys started requesting a savory oat flour bread version so that you could eat oat flour bread as part of sandwiches and toast. Now that recipe is 100% my most popular recipe on the blog.
Almond Flour Banana Bread (no Added Sugar)
Over the holidays, you guys requested a pumpkin version, so I made that and happily ate umpteen loaves. Now, I’ve made this oat flour banana bread version five times already and can’t stop won’t stop. The baby loves it for breakfast (even though he hates bananas), and I love it pre/post workout with salted butter. And you can even make oat flour banana muffins out of it as well!
This recipe is a “quick bread” recipe, which means you can’t mess it up, and it’s fast to get it in the oven. The first step is to combine all your dry ingredients, I forgot to take a picture of that, but I think you’ll be okay there. Next, in another bowl, you will want to mash down three large banans (about 1.33 cups of mashed banana.)
TIP: Mash bananas by squeezing them while they are in the peel first. This way, they are easier to mash when you get them in the bowl. I like to leave my mashed bananas just a little bit chunky, but you can use a blender or electric mixer to get rid of the chunks if you want.

Next, add your wet ingredients into your dry and then let the mixture sit for FIVE minutes. The sitting time allows the oats to absorb the liquid before the baking process begins.
Then, you’ll bake in a parchment-lined loaf pan for 50-55 minutes. I chose to use a taller, more narrow pan, if you use a wider shorter loaf pan it might bake faster, so check it at 40-45 minutes. Yes, the top with get crispy, all forms of banana bread do this, including traditional. You are not overbaking it, I promise!
Now! The MOST IMPORTANT information. If you can manage it, leave it alone. The best-case scenario is you let it cool on a cooling rack for a few hours before transferring it to the fridge and allowing it to cool OVERNIGHT in the refrigerator. I KNOW! Trust me, I know, it’s a long hard wait, but worth it.

But this is the best-case scenario, if you follow my directions, you can microwave to reheat slices, and you’ll bread won’t be crumbly at all. If you don’t, it wills till be good, but it might be slightly chewy and a bit crumbly.

How To Make Banana Bread With Oat Flour « Clean & Delicious
Why use oat flour? This flour is easily accessible! If you have oatmeal at home, you can make oat flour. It’s naturally gluten-free, and super affordable when compared to other alternative flours.
Can you use oat flour instead of all purpose flour? In most recipes, the answer is yes, but you’ll typically need to use more oat flour when making this substitution, because oat flour is less dense than wheat flour. That’s why I’ve done the testing for you!
Since oat flour is gluten-free, it doesn’t have the same binding protein (gluten) that wheat flour does. As a result, you’ll need to use more eggs to get a familiar banana bread texture that isn’t mushy in the middle, or crumbling apart.
Award Winning Oatmeal Banana Bread (vegan Subs!)
Oat flour banana bread is just as easy to make as the original! Start with ripe bananas, with plenty of ripe spots on their skin, so they’ll be nice and sweet.
In a large bowl, you’ll mix together all of the ingredients, until a relatively smooth batter is formed. It’s okay if there are still a few pieces of banana that aren’t totally mashed. (Yum!)
Lightly spray a 9-inch by 5-inch loaf pan with oil, then place a piece of parchment paper on the bottom of the pan to ensure this banana bread will be easy to remove later.
Ingredient Healthy Oat Bread (no Yeast, Flour, Sugar, Oil, Or Eggs)
This bread tastes like a lightly sweet banana bread with a hint of oatmeal flavor. The addition of cinnamon is a nice touch, but you can leave that out, if you’d prefer.
Need to replace the coconut sugar? I’ve reduced the coconut sugar in this recipe to just 3/4 cup and that still works well, texture-wise. It just doesn’t taste as sweet as a banana bread you’d buy at a coffee shop. I’ve also tested this recipe with 1/2 cup of honey instead, and that turned out too sweet, and the texture was super gummy in the middle. I don’t recommend that swap. If I were to try it again, I’d probably use 1/3 cup of honey and increase the flour by at least 1/4 cup.
Need to replace the olive oil? You can use melted coconut oil or butter with similar results. I imagine you could possibly make this recipe oil-free by replacing the oil with more mashed banana, too, but the texture might not be quite as nice and sliceable.
Gluten Free Oat Flour Carrot Cake Banana Bread With Cream Cheese Frosting
Need to replace the eggs? I have successfully used Bob’s Red Mill Egg Replacer in this recipe, and the results are great! The egg-free banana bread is a little more flat, but it still cracks in the center and isn’t gooey in the middle with this substitution. I assume other store-bought egg substitutes will work as well, but I’m not sure that flax eggs will be as helpful. I think the “powdery” egg substitutes that involve arrowroot or tapioca starches are most effective with gluten-free baking. (FYI– using carbonated water as an egg substitute does NOT work here. I tried it, and it was inedible.)
Oat Flour Banana Bread is naturally gluten-free and tastes just as good as the kind you'd buy at a coffee shop! It's going to become your new favorite.
