A moist, fluffy oat flour banana bread <\/strong>recipe that is gluten free and vegan! Make this flavorful quick bread in one bowl in 60 minutes! Sweetened with bananas and maple syrup, this delicious banana bread will be your new favorite!\u00a0<\/p>\n I am obsessed with this oat flour banana bread! I genuinely enjoyed the testing process and ate waaaay more than I care to admit! I started with my vegan chocolate chip banana bread<\/a> recipe and then tested and retested until it was perfect! This version is not only gluten-free and vegan but also healthier! The maple syrup and bananas function as both the liquid and sweetener in this delicious quick bread!<\/p>\n This simple, healthy banana bread recipe uses pantry staples! There are no flaxseeds, no butter, no brown sugar or coconut sugar, and no wheat flour!\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Use these instructions to make the absolute best gluten-free & vegan banana bread! Further details and measurements can be found in the recipe card below.<\/p>\n Step 1: <\/strong>Pre-heat the oven to 350\u00b0F (no fan!). Spray a standard (1 pound) loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray. You can line it with parchment paper if your loaf pan is older and has a tendency to stick.<\/p>\n This gluten free banana bread recipe is best baked without the fan. <\/strong>Convection ovens (the fan setting) will over-brown the outside while the center remains raw.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Step 2: <\/strong>In a large mixing bowl whisk together the mashed bananas, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk in the melted coconut oil until emulsified.<\/p>\n Step 3: <\/strong>In a separate medium bowl whisk together oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Add the dry ingredients to the large bowl with the wet ingredients and stir or whisk well to combine. There is no fear of gluten development, so whisk away!\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Step 4: <\/strong>Fold in chocolate chips if desired.\u00a0<\/p>\n Step 5: <\/strong>Pour banana bread batter into the prepared loaf pan. Arrange additional cut bananas or chocolate chips on top, if desired.\u00a0<\/p>\n Step 6: <\/strong>Bake 45-50 minutes or until a cake tester or toothpick comes out clean. Cool 8-10 minutes in the pan, then turn out onto wire rack to cool completely.\u00a0<\/p>\n Step 7: <\/strong>Slice cooled banana bread with a serrated knife or sharp knife.\u00a0<\/p>\n Mixing Options: <\/strong>You could also blend this recipe as written in a blender or food processor.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Cool banana bread completely on a wire rack at room temperature, then store in an airtight container or a plastic zip-top baggie at room temperature for up to a week! The freezer is best for longer storage. Freeze the cooled loaf, well wrapped, for up to 2 months. Like multigrain bread<\/a>, I like to freeze loaves already cut into individual slices for easy snacks or breakfasts!\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n If you don\u2019t have oat flour you could make your own by blending certified gluten-free oats or oatmeal in a food processor and then adding all the other ingredients.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n I also tested this recipe with 2 bananas (209g) and both 2 & 3 bananas make excellent oat flour banana bread. Two bananas made the texture even more tender but slightly crumbly. The ones made with 3 bananas did stay moist longer. The loaf made with two bananas, did dry out significantly after 24 hours. In conclusion, I think 3 bananas is better but if you only have 2, bake in confidence!<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n If you enjoyed this recipe, please leave a star rating<\/strong> and let me know how it goes in the comments<\/strong> below!
