- 3 large bananas very ripe with brown spotting
- ⅔ cup maple syrup or liquid sweetener of choice
- 4 tablespoons olive oil or liquid oil of choice
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 and ¾ cups oat flour*
- 3and ½ tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon optional
Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9x5 loaf pan. An 8.5x4.5 loaf pan works too. Add (in this order) the bananas, maple syrup, olive oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to a high-speed blender. Blend on high for 15 seconds or until smooth.
Add the oat flour, cornstarch, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Blend on low for 5 seconds and then on high for 10 seconds or until just incorporated. Do not over-mix. Be sure to scrape down the sides of the blender with a spatula.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (or with a few moist crumbs). Check the bread at 40 minutes, and if it's browning too much on the top, you can cover it with aluminum foil and continue baking.
Allow your banana bread to cool for 15 minutes before transferring it to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Enjoy!
- Oat Flour– Oat flour is sold in stores, but it's also super easy to make at home. Simply blend old-fashioned oats in a high-speed blender until the oats become a fine powder (about 30 seconds to a minute). Store your oat flour in an air-tight container for up to three months.
- Store your banana bread covered in a sealed container at room temperature for up to four days.
