Healthy Banana Bread with Oat Flour
Table of Contents
Ingredients:
- Bananas: 3 ripe
- Eggs: 2
- Milk or Plant-Based Milk: ½ cup (120ml)
- Oat Flour: 1½ cups (180g)
- Baking Powder: 2 teaspoons
- Sweetener: Optional, such as honey, stevia, or date paste to taste
Directions:
Step 1: Mash the Bananas
In a large bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. If your bananas are not ripe, you can microwave them for 2-3 minutes or bake them at 180°C (350°F) for 15-20 minutes to soften and bring out their sweetness.
Step 2: Add Eggs
Add 2 eggs to the mashed bananas and mix well.
Step 3: Add Sweetener (Optional)
If you like, you can add a sweetener of your choice, such as honey, stevia, or date paste. Adjust the amount based on your preference.
Step 4: Add Milk
Add ½ cup (120ml) of milk or plant-based milk to the mixture and stir.
Step 5: Add Oat Flour and Baking Powder
Gradually mix in 1½ cups (180g) of oat flour. If you don’t have oat flour, you can make your own by blending rolled oats in a food processor until fine.
Add 2 teaspoons of baking powder and mix until everything is well combined.
Step 6: Prepare the Baking Pan
Grease a 22 cm (8.6 inches) baking pan with oil or line it with parchment paper. Pour the banana mixture into the pan.
Step 7: Bake
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and bake for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 8: Cool and Serve
Once baked, allow the banana bread to cool before slicing. Serve and enjoy!
