Ingredients
- Ripe bananas- you'll need 2 medium-large brown and spotty bananas, about 1 cup mashed.
- Oat flour- homemade or storebought oat flour both work.
- Eggs
- Peanut butter- I suggest using all-natural, no-sugar-added creamy peanut butter.
- Maple syrup- adds some extra sweetness to the banana bread.
- Cinnamon- I love cinnamon in any banana bread recipe.
- Frozen berries- can sub fresh berries or your favorite jam.
- Vanilla extract- always makes baked goods that much better.
- Baking soda and baking powder- both will help the banana bread rise and cook properly.
Instructions
- Begin by preheating the oven to 350 degrees F and greasing a loaf pan with cooking spray. Next, add all of the ingredients, aside from the berries into a large bowl and mix to combine.
- Melt the frozen berries on the stovetop in a small saucepan over low heat for 4-5 minutes or in the microwave for about 1 minute. Use a fork or potato masher to crush the berries into a jam-like texture.
- Pour HALF of the banana bread batter into the greased loaf pan. Next, pour HALF of the berries over the batter and swirl/marble, using a fork or knife.
- Repeat with the remaining batter and berries.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the loaf cool for about 30 minutes, slice and enjoy!
Common Questions
The loaf can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days, in the fridge for up to 1 week or in the freezer for about 3 months. Thaw the banana bread completely and enjoy.
Oat flour is so easy to make, it is just ground oats! You can buy pre-made oat flour but it's so much cheaper to make it yourself. Simply, add quick cook or rolled oats to your blender or food processor; and blend until a flour forms, approximately 30 seconds - 1 minute.
Pro-tip: Measure your oat flour amount AFTER you have ground it into flour, this makes for a more accurate ratio in recipes.
