I finally got to make banana bread because I had super ripe bananas. I’ve been trying to do this for a long time now, and I either eat the bananas or they end up going bad before I remember to make something with them.
I can’t even tell you how excited I was when I realized I was going to be able to finally do it. I even added old-fashioned oats to the batter to cut the sweetness and make sure we were getting a little bit of fiber.
Mise en place. Preheat your oven to 350˚F. Grease and line a loaf pan with parchment paper (optional). Measure your ingredients out and mash your bananas before beginning.

Mix the dry ingredients. In a big mixing bowl, whisk your flour, sugar, oats, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg until everything is evenly distributed.
Transfer to loaf pan. Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan. To garnish, top with a sliced banana and some extra oats.
Bake the banana bread. Bake for 45 – 55 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let the banana bread cool completely before slicing.

You can stick a toothpick into your bread to test the doneness. When it comes out clean, or with just a few crumbs on it, it’s done. Just make sure that you stick the toothpick in the center of the loaf for a more accurate reading as the sides often cook a little faster.
If you keep your banana bread properly stored in an airtight or covered container on the counter at room temp, you can expect it to last up to a week. For best results, eat it while it’s fresh!
Absolutely! Freeze banana bread for later! This is perfect for when you want to use up the bananas but you don’t want to actually eat them yet. Just let your banana bread cool completely before wrapping in plastic wrap and placing in a gallon sized ziploc bag. This will keep it fresh longer.
Vegan Banana Oat Bread
If you leave out any necessary leavening agents or don’t let your banana bread finish cooking, the center will drop. While it might taste good as a gloopy mess of warm banana bread batter nestled within baked bread, it’s not the desired results. Make sure you properly check the bread for doneness before removing it from the oven to cool.

Moist & Fluffy Oat Flour Banana Bread
I’m happy to share with you this wonderfully easy, healthy vegan banana bread that I have loved for many years, and look forward to loving for many more to come!
It’s all about the bananas! Banana bread is easy to veganize by adding extra banana, which acts as a binder, replacing the need for eggs or other egg replacers. And as an added benefit, it also helps to lessen the amount of sugar needed. The trick is to use very ripe, freckled bananas, because the riper your bananas are, the less sugar you’ll need! This recipe only calls for 1/3 cup of sugar, but of course you can adjust, up or down, to suit your tastes.
Fats or no fats: In place of using butter or vegetable shortening, I call for oil. But you’ll find this banana bread recipe to have the option of using vegan butter or shortening if you prefer. I’ve also played around with using half oil and half unsweetened almond milk (equaling 1/3 cup) with excellent results. And if you want to skip the fats all together, for an ultra-healthy vegan banana bread, try using unsweetened applesauce – it’s terrific!

Spruce up your banana bread with additional add-ins and toppings! Add up to 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, fold in chocolate chips, walnuts or pecans to the batter. Or once the batter is in the loaf pan, add a sprinkle of walnuts, pecans, sesame seeds, rolled oats, or sunflower seeds over top before baking, they will add texture add protein.
Spoon & level the flour! When measuring your flour, it’s helpful to use the ‘spoon & level’ method, this will ensure you don’t add too much flour. Never scoop the flour with a measuring cup. Instead, using a spoon, scoop the flour into the measuring cup, without packing it, and level with the back of a knife.
Don’t overmix the batter! It’s best baking practice when making any type of quick bread to not overmix, overmixing the ingredients will cause the gluten proteins to create an elastic batter that may not rise well. You only want to mix until you don’t see any flour streaks.
