Healthy Oatmeal Banana Bread Recipe

If you’re in the same situation I find myself in the end of every week, you’d really appreciate this recipe. And the situation is this: 2-3 rotting bananas on my countertop. Way too sweet, a bit mushy and a bit too much of the vodka scent on them to eat as they are.

You know what these senior bananas are great for? They’re perfect to make healthy desserts like this easy flourless banana bread.

easy oatmeal Banana Bread Ingredients

The ingredient list isn’t quite short, but here are the main characters in this healthy banana bread scenario:

bananas – 2 medium, very ripe bananas make this bread sweet enough and really delicious
oats – use whole plain quick oats instead of flour
eggs – we need 2 medium eggs to help the oatmeal banana bread stay together
butter – you can also use coconut oil if you don’t like butter for some reason, but I love the butter for this recipe
vanilla and baking soda – the usual baking suspects

How To Make easy healthy Banana Bread

What’s almost as good as how tasty and healthy this banana bread is, is the fact that the batter for this recipe comes together super easily and in no time. You basically put everything into one bowl and then pour it into a loaf pan. Here are the steps broken down:

Preheat the oven
Mash the bananas with a fork, they don’t need to be super smooth, especially if you like some banana chunks in the final result
Add the eggs, mix and then add the rest of the wet ingredients and mix again
Add the dry ingredients and mix again
Pour your oatmeal banana bread mixture into a loaf pan (line with parchment paper) and sprinkle some oats on top.
Bake for around 30 minutes, let cool off a bit and enjoy!

Options

Add in some of your favorite things: this bread was perfect for me as it was, but you can play around and add nuts, dried fruit, chocolate chips – whatever you desire.
You can also add some cinnamon if you enjoy this flavor!
For a dairy-free option you can leave out the yogurt and use almond milk or use plant-based yogurt
Make sure to use gluten free oats if you’re following a gluten free diet

What To Eat With Banana Bread?

As I mentioned, I enjoyed this healthy banana bread with nothing else, but coffee, but you can choose to eat your banana bread with some peanut butter or almond butter, even cream cheese might be good (if you eat dairy of course).
