I made this banana bread as muffins this morning and I’m obsessed! Rolled oats are hard to come by where I live, so I used quick oats and they worked perfectly. Coconut oil worked well, too. I’ll definitely be making these again!

Loved this banana bread! I felt like it was more of a “baked oatmeal” texture with the oat flour and rolled oats, but that made me enjoy it even more at breakfast time. I made it in a loaf and can’t wait to make in a muffin tin!

This recipe turned out perfect and is so delicious. Will definitely be making this regularly

Wooooooow!! I just made this and it is my new favorite banana bread recipe. The loaf was unbelievably moist and sweetened perfectly. Will be making again in the future!

Love this recipe! I love the fact that it doesn't call for pounds of sugar and butter. I experimented a bit, and used half greek yogurt half coconut oil, I added tons of cinnamon, and I threw in an extra banana. Also, I used a 1/4 cup maple syrup (one time, I split with honey), and all alterations still made it come out just as delicious. Only thing is (if anyone tries this) be prepared to keep in the oven an additional 10-20 minutes. 

This has been such a hit, THANK YOU.

PLEASE MAKE MORE OAT FLOUR RECIPES THIS WAS AMAZING! So moist and perfectly sweet (definitely on the less sweet side but I went heavy on the chocolate so it made up for the sweetness). Had 3 slices straight out of the oven it was SO yummy (:

Excellent bread.  Our daughter and her boyfriend were at our home to celebrate her boyfriend's birthday.  This bread was our choice to replace birthday cake.  The five of us ate it all

Fabulous.....delicious any time of the day

Delicious! This will be my go to banana bread recipe moving forward! I swapped the vegetable oil for coconut oil as I do with most of my recipes. I love the flavour profile it adds, so it's a great swap for me. All together I think it took me about 60 minutes to make (prep + cooking time). It was hard waiting for it to cool before digging in, but it was definitely worth the wait!

It's 8:30 in the evening and I just put it in the oven.  Can't wait for a piece.  I make it for dinner guests, for a special niece.  Tonight I make it for us.  So good.

I love the tip to ripen bananas. It’s not often that bananas last long enough in our house to make banana bread.

Made the banana bread just as the recipe called for and my family loved it! Thanks for a healthier alternative! Will definitely make it again!

This recipe was absolutely PHENOMENAL. I was completely struck by how moist and fluffy it was!! This will definitely be the only recipe I ever use again!

(Since I cannot have any sugar, I added ‘Sugar Free’ maple syrup, reduced the chocolate chips, and loaded the top with walnuts)! 

I cannot wait to make this for visiting my family.  I want to impress everyone with this stellar recipe!

Thank you so much!

Fabulously easy and quick! Made mini loaves and in muffin pan! Great in-between snack. Easy use for overripe bananas. Made a 2nd batch for the week this eve.

When baking with oat flour or oatmeal does the toothpick still have to come out dry when its done?  I think I may have taken mine out 5 minutes too early but it was still delicious.

Initially I made it for my niece because she eats gluten free food.  Now other members of our family request this instead of cake!

My favorite banana bread recipe! So much healthier than traditional recipes and honestly tastes better too!

Super easy to make, gluten free and delicious.

I made this today as written and it was perfect. My son had 2 helpings straight from the oven. The sweetness is just right. Thanks for the recipe!

These muffins are excellent! Yummmmmmmmm! Made muffins exactly following recipe except used coconut oil. Healthy to boot! Thanks!

Just took these out of the oven and they are yummy! I replaced half oil w Greek yogurt and next time may try replacing full amount. Made the muffins and they were done by 24 mins w convection bake at 350! Obviously every oven is different, but try convection if crunched for time! Thanks for the great recipes

Delicious and very easy! My GF husband loved this too.

So yummy! I’m always looking for new banana bread/muffin recipes and this one will be repeated for sure!

I made these as muffins, but made no other changes. We felt they were a bit dense. One of my kids didn’t like them at all.

This Oatmeal Banana Bread recipe is the perfect recipe to make moist banana bread. Greek yogurt and ripe bananas are two key ingredients!

Oatmeal Banana Bread

plain greek yogurt

banana (about 3)

all-purpose flour

quick oats (plus more for sprinkling)

cinnamon

pecans (roughly chopped)

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9 x 5 loaf pan and line with parchment paper, letting the paper overhang the edges for easy removal.

In a large bowl, beat eggs and maple syrup until frothy and lightened in color. Whisk in yogurt and mashed banana.

In another bowl, whisk together flour, oats, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until combined.

Fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients just until incorporated. Fold in pecans, if desired. Pour into prepared pan and sprinkle with additional oats on top.

Bake in preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until golden brown at the edges and springy to the touch, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. You may need to tent the banana bread after 40 minutes if it starts to brown too quickly.

Remove from the oven and allow the bread to cool completely in the pan set on a wire rack before slicing.

Oatmeal banana bread is the perfect recipe for a quick, simple and light breakfast. Read on for step-by-step directions!
