I love this banana bread! Let’s get one thing perfectly clear … this isn’t omg yum lets have a slice of dreamy banana bread for dessert after a rich autumn meal. This is, however, a thick hearty banana bread that I am always in the mood for + I can toast + smother in peanut butter after my run in the morning. You NEED this Healthy Eggless Oatmeal Banana Bread in your life.
Tara’s Tips for Perfect Oatmeal Banana Bread:
- Bananas
- try to use the most ripe, mushy bananas you have, they are naturally sweeter
- Oats
- use old fashioned rolled oats, not the steel cut kind or quick cooking instant oats, and always try to use organic oats when possible
- Sugar
- to keep this refined sugar free choose coconut palm sugar or turbinado sugar, alternatively you could use organic pure cane sugar or light brown sugar
- Mixing
- don’t over mix, your batter will become too sticky
- Baking
- use a standard loaf pan + make sure you grease it well
- Serving ideas
- slice, toast, spread your favorite nut butter or vegan spread, sprinkle with cinnamon, that is my favorite way! This is one of my favorite post-run snacks!
- Leftovers?
- place individual slices in a container or freezer bag, toast or microwave when ready to eat, this bread is perfect for meal prep.

Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
- 3/4 cups ground flaxseed
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 cups mashed ripe bananas
- 1/4 cup sugar of choice (organic raw cane sugar, turbinado sugar, coconut palm sugar)
- 1/4 water
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Directions
- Step 1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
- Step 2 Spray a 9×5 inch loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray or melted butter or coconut oil
- Step 3 Place oats in a food processor or blender and grind until a fine flour is achieved
- Step 4 Transfer the oat flour to the bowl of a stand mixer or a large mixing bowl, add in the flax, cinnamon, and salt. Once combined, slowly stir in the sugar, mashed bananas, water, vanilla, continue to mix until fully combined – do not over mix.
- Step 5 Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 50 minutes. Your bread is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with no liquid batter on it. Cook an additional 5-7 minutes as needed until the edges are perfectly golden brown.
