Fluffy, moist Oatmeal Banana Bread made with healthy ingredients like oats, ripe bananas and maple syrup. Super easy and absolutely delicious!

Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Breakfast

Time 2h25m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups rolled oats (plus 1 tablespoon for sprinkling on top (do not use instant oatmeal; quick oats will work in a pinch))
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 cups mashed very ripe bananas (about 4 medium bananas)
2/3 cup honey or pure maple syrup
4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
1/4 cup milk
3 tablespoons nonfat plain Greek yogurt
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread 1 1/2 cups oats in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Place in the oven and toast for 8 to 10 minutes, until very light golden and fragrant, stirring once halfway through. Set aside to cool. Line a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper so that two sides overhang like handles. Lightly mist with nonstick spray.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir in the toasted oats. Set aside.
  • Mash the banana in the bottom of a large mixing bowl and double check to make sure you have 1 1/2 cups. Whisk in the honey, melted butter, milk, and Greek yogurt. If the butter resolidifies, warm the bowl in the microwave in 10-second bursts, just until it melts. One at a time, whisk in the eggs. Whisk in the vanilla extract.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the banana-honey mixture. By hand with a rubber spatula, stir very slowly and gently, stopping as soon as the flour disappears. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle the batter with remaining 1 tablespoon oats for decoration.
  • Bake for 30 minutes, then loosely cover the pan with foil, making sure that the foil shields both ends of the pan (because the bread is sweetened with honey, it will caramelize and become dark at the corners). Continue baking for 35 to 45 additional minutes (65 to 75 minutes total) or until a small, thin knife inserted in the center of the loaf comes out without any wet batter clinging to it. Repeat the test once or twice. An even easier way to tell is to use an instant-read thermometer. When the bread reaches between 200 to 210 degrees F at the center, it's done.
  • Place the pan on a wire rack, and let the bread cool in the pan for 1 hour. Using the parchment paper handles, lift the bread and set it out on the rack to finish cooling completely. Slice and enjoy!

BANANA-OATMEAL BREAD



Banana-Oatmeal Bread image

I love bananas and oatmeal, so when I saw this in the September 2004 issue of Cooking Light, I just knew I had to make it! I wasn't at all disappointed. The oatmeal makes it hearty and somewhat chewy, while the bananas and buttermilk make it sweet and moist - yet it is not as sweet or sticky-moist as some other banana breads I've had. This makes a smaller loaf than some recipes. I made 2 mini-loaves instead of one large one, and they were done in 30-35 minutes. EDITED to mention- Since I posted this recipe, I've made it several times. It has become THE banana bread recipe for this household, and when I give it as gifts it never fails to receive compliments. It is extremely versatile also. I have made it with yogurt in place of buttermilk, walnut oil for the vegetable oil, and I have cut back the sugar and added cinnamon as a couple reviewers suggested. This last time I made an eggless version by substituting 2 Tablespoons ground flax seed + 6 Tablespoons water for the eggs. (I think next time I will try a vegan version by also replacing the buttermilk with soymilk.) Every time it has turned out perfect!

BANANA OAT BREAD



Banana Oat Bread image

The oats and nuts in this banana bread make it different and give it a great flavor and texture. It's one of my favorite quick breads, and I probably make it more frequently than any other! Don't forget to sprinkle the oats on top for a great crunch! This recipe came from Shanna at the IBS message boards at www.helpforibs.com, although I modified it slightly.

Tips for Perfect Banana Bread with Oats:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread will be.
  • Mash the bananas thoroughly: This will help to create a smooth, even batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense loaf of bread.
  • Use a loaf pan that is properly greased and floured: This will prevent the bread from sticking to the pan.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the bread is cooked through.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving: This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Banana bread with oats is a delicious, easy-to-make treat that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. It is also a great way to use up ripe bananas. With its moist, flavorful texture and the added benefits of oats, this bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you have some ripe bananas on hand, give this recipe a try!
