    Oat Flour Banana Bread Sliced on a white and wood board with a blue linen in the background

    What the heck, 5 years ago. Honestly, where does the time go? I truly had no idea an Oat Flour Banana Bread recipe would turn out to be one of my most visited pages.

    Five years ago I took a job as a General Manager for two restaurants and now here we are 5 years later and I have recently left that job. I can truly say my life/ sanity is so much better for it.

    While I did love my coworkers, customers, and friends there, the stress of managing 60 people on your own, two restaurants, marketing, hr, menu costing, changing menu recipes, scheduling, planning and hosting events... the list goes on. You wear many hats in most management roles but that is especially true in restaurants.

    Luckily I have my blog, my true passion, to keep me still in the food industry. You may have noticed a new look here. I finally updated my look along with a lot of other behind the scenes things. Thanks to the Food Blogger Pro community I am a part of I was able to teach myself and get some help off of others in the community.

    Oat Flour Banana Bread with Butter on a cream plate with a white and blue linen in the background

    Back to the recipe...

    Five years later this recipe still rules the roof. While I am not gluten intolerant, I do like to switch things up. Make sure if you are gluten intolerant you use Gluten-Free Oats- to make sure they are processed in a GF environment.

    The recipe for this quick bread is really quite simple like your ordinary banana bread recipe. But this ain't ordinary! The main difference here is you need to make your own Oat Flour. It is super simple.

    🍌 What are the ingredients

    • Unsalted Butter
    • Granulated Sugar
    • Large Eggs, at room temperature
    • Pure Vanilla Extract
    • Oat Flour, to keep Gluten Free use Gluten-Free Oats
    • Baking Soda
    • Salt
    • Greek Yogurt, Plain or Vanilla
    • Very Ripe Bananas

    Baking is a science and to really achieve the best results I highly recommend investing in a kitchen scale. This OXO Kitchen Scale is the one I use and is also the number one recommended kitchen scale by Cook's Illustrated. Think about it -what one person scoops into a "cup" is completely different from what someone else scoops!

    📖 How do you make Oat Flour

    Take either rolled or quick oats place them in a food processor and process until a fine flour-like texture. You won't end up with an all-purpose flour texture but it will look and feel like flour, with some chunks of oats in. This creates the oat flour to make the banana bread recipe.

    🍽 How do you make Oat Flour Banana Bread?

    Then in a large bowl add your normal banana bread recipe suspects; butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla, baking soda, salt, Greek yogurt or sour cream and the star bananas along with the oat flour.

    The trick is to not over mix the recipe. Add the butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla then whisk to combine, next add the baking soda, salt, and oat flour, fold to just combine then fold in the Greek yogurt and bananas. I like to do the bananas last to keep some chunks of banana. And if you are like me/ my mother sprinkle some brown sugar on top before baking to create a sweet crunchy top.

    And let me tell you a toasted piece of banana bread slathered with some butter, you need it.

    💭Can you make oat flour banana bread muffins?

    Of course. Check out my post on oat flour banana muffins here!

    Text from Feb 20, 2013- Lately, I have been testing out recipes with oat flour. Blend up some old-fashioned oats into a dust/flour-like texture and substitute in the recipe. I was skeptical as to how the banana bread would turn out.  This oat flour banana bread was a lovely treat and a nice surprise.

    The Oat Flour Banana Bread was spectacular. More than I dreamed it could be. Moist, dense but not super dense. There were oat flavors in the background but it didn't take over the banana bread flavor. I will definitely make this again.

    Great for people who are Gluten Free

      I just made this and it is delicious!! The only problem I had was it stuck to my pan. So it doesn't look to good all broken apart. Next time will try and butter pan more. Maybe flour it with the oatflour too.

          I’ve tried this recipe two times already, First I did it on my own.. pretty poorly actually.. didn’t have the right bananas so I kind of microwave them anyway a disaster tho the taste was amazing. But the second time my sister and my mother helped me out. The only things is that it was too sweet, we’re from the banana capital country so they’re already VERY sweet, also we used brown sugar.. I’d keep trying until it’s perfect.. like yours, all cake like, mine was like a pudding still delicious that I don’t think it would survive this day.

      I tried this recipe last night and YUM!! Since going gluten free for health reasons, I've really missed banana bread with my morning tea.

      I only had two bananas so I added 3/4 cup of frozen blueberries, used brown sugar instead of white to make up for the moisture deficiency and added a teaspoon of vanilla to give it a little more zing. I also lined my pan with parchment paper to avoid any sticking.

      Thanks for this great recipe, total winner!

        Great! I hope you do try it 🙂 The consistency of greek yogurt is different than plain yogurt. Regular yogurt is more watery, as Greek is thicker and tangier. Greek yogurt is similar in consistency to sour cream- I would use those interchangeably. Greek yogurt being healthier. Let me know if I can help with anything else. 🙂

      My whole family loves these. My son actually requested this cake with chocolate chips for his 7th birthday. Last week I made them in muffin tins. I was very unsure how long to bake them. Do you have any idea how much time they would need if I make them as regular or mini cupcakes?

      I made this tonite but the oats didn't blend well into flour (used steel cut). Didn't use sugar either. I used 2 snack sized cups of Apple sauce. It turned out good but oaty consistency most likely because of the steel cut oats. Going to go to whole foods to see if they carry oat flour.

      Back again and it came out better than the last time. Now my banana bread is super moist and oh so yummy. Only changes I made were I used coconut oil instead of butter, brown sugar and added applesauce.

      Hubby always asks for more and buys bananas just for banana bread.

      These are sooooo delicious. The oatmeal flour goes perfectly with bananas. I don't think I will go back to a GF flour blend after this. Mine were quite flat though, but everything else was perfect. I made six muffins and a small loaf pan. I also used 3/4 the amount of sugar, and I used a brown natural panela sugar. I think you could even get away with less sugar because the bananas really help to sweeten it.

      Thanks so much for this recipe, it will now be my standard banana bread/muffin recipe.

I did however use coconut oil instead of butter and 1/2 cup brown sugar instead of cup of regular sugar like someone else on here did. Fantastic recipe using stuff I already had on hand, especially the browning bananas and a tub of old fashioned oats!!!

          Hi,
          Two weeks later and I am making this CAKE again. To me this is cake, the best cake! I blended the banana and yogurt and then added some chunks for texture. I used half brown sugar and half organic sugar, so it has a more earthly flavor(with a TSP of cinnamon).
          Once again,
          Thank You.

              I just tried this recipe, substituted granulated sugar for 1 1/2 cups coconut sugar as its a little less sweet than regular sugar but it came out a little sweet still so next time I'll stick to the measurement. I must also say that the coconut sugar made it a lot darker and started to burn around the edges....Other than that, i absolutely love it. . I don't feel like I'm eating healthy, it's super soft and moist, raises well, tastes wonderful.....Will definitely stick to this recipe

      Although mine did come out more moist and wet because I added another banana just to get rid of it. It tastes just like Bananas Foster. So I made the optional caloric "Foster" or Burnt Sugar and OMG delicious.

      Substitutions because of availability

      Brown Sugar instead of White Sugar
      Honey Yogurt instead of Greek Yogurt

      Thank you, this is a great recipe!

      So... I've been making this recipe for over a year. It's a staple. I am horrible at baking and this never fails me so speaks to how forgiving this is! I eyeball everything which is why baking usually doesn't workout well for me lol. But, I also went dairy free shortly after discovering this so have been substituting Coyo brand coconut yogurt (other nondairy yogurts left an aftertaste) and substitute either plain or Nutiva butter flavored coconut oil for the butter. Tip: coconut oil was better at keeping it from sticking to ceramic loaf pan but I still line with parchment. I also have a naughty version that involves a few spoonfuls of peanut butter or powdered Peanut and chocolate chunks -don't judge! It's soooooo good. Thanks for the recipe!

      If there was a rating higher than 5, I would gladly give this recipe. Even the pickiest eater can not resist this. What I love most about this recipe is the fact that even my kids that don't eat oatmeal couldn't resist this. I would recommend this recipe any day, anytime. Thanks for sharing.

        Hi Priyanka, thanks for coming back and letting me know you enjoyed the recipe, if you try and enjoy another recipe would you mind leaving a star rating too, please? As far as the baking powder question, I would not use baking powder, as baking soda is stronger it requires less of it to create the rise. This recipe also calls for yogurt and banana which acts as acidity to help the baking soda react chemically. Please let me know if you have any other questions! Thanks- Liz

      Made this with my 4 y/o last night and it was easy, fun, and delicious! We didn't have sugar so I swapped it with applesauce and the load (thankfully!) still baked up although it's definitely a bit gooey in the middle. Still 100% delicious and essentially our favorite breakfasts rolled up into one (banana, oatmeal, and eggs!).

      Thanks!

        So glad you enjoyed it, thank you for reporting back. Yes, I would think with the applesauce swap you would want to add some more flour to counteract the moisture so it's not so gooey.

      I just pulled these out of the oven and they are fabulous! I added a cup of walnuts, substituted monk fruit sweetener for the sugar and made muffins! They are so delicious that I’m giddy! Thank you thank you thank you! These are now healthy yet decadent breakfast muffins. I wasn’t diligent about mashing the bananas so there are chunks of banana burst of flavor.

      Flavor is amazing, but I'm having a real hard time getting it to not be mushy. It rises, then falls into an uncooked dense loaf. I've tried it twice now, and baked it 30 minutes longer than the instructions suggested. Following it to a tee, what could be causing it to be under baked? #HELP

        Hi Tyler, thanks for reaching out I am sorry you are having problems. I would first and foremost check that your oven temperature is calibrated correctly, which can affect the bake drastically. Make sure your oven has also properly preheated before you begin to bake. Also, you should check that your baking soda is still active, it is recommended to discard baking soda every 6 months. IF you have an instant-read thermometer you could check the internal temperature of the banana bread, the temperature should read 200F/ 94C. I hope that helps, please let me know if I can help in any other way! Thanks XX Liz

      Wow! I stumbled on this recipe because I ran out of regular flour and only had oat flour to use. This recipe is AMAZING! I've made it twice now and it's devoured before it even has a chance to cool down! My family loves it so much. Is there a way to get the nutritional information? or did I miss that somewhere? I thought I should know since I've basically eaten 1/2 a loaf all by myself 😉

        Hi Alysan, thanks so much for coming back to review the recipe. I am so happy you all loved it!! 🙂 There are many sites that you can google and just add the ingredients to get nutritional ingredients then divide it by however many slices you get out of a loaf. I have heard many conflicting options on whether these nutritional values are truly accurate but it should at least give you some sort of an idea! IF you're looking for a somewhat healthier version I do have an Oat Flour Skinny Banana Bread, maybe try that one!! LEt me know if you have any questions!! May I also ask a huge favor, please? Would you be so kind to leave a star rating when you leave a review too, it helps my other readers easily see if a recipe is highly rated or not, I would be so grateful!! Thanks XX Liz

      This is by far the best banana bread, gluten free or not, that our family has ever had. We are not a gluten free family but this will be our go-to banana bread from now on. I have sent everyone I know this recipe, it's that good!
      The only things I do differently is that I add about a tsp of cinnamon to the dry mix and I whisk all the liquids and the sugar up together in a separate bowl, add the mashed bananas to it and then add it all at once to the dry bowl (this is only because I am lazy).

      This recipe is awesome tasting--saw a couple comments on too sweet--that's what I like. You can always do less sugar.
      I'm hoping you'll reply (sorry if it's already in thread and I didn't see) about what consistency the batter should be.
      I did grease pan, and there was no sticking, and it does fall apart.
      I used more than the 1 and 3/4 C oat flour because it looked too runny, and it still fell apart.
      I used farm-stand eggs, so it's hard to control size--I did my best pick large.
      I also used Kitehill almond milk yogurt--same amount--5 oz--wanted less dairy.
      Let me know what consistency the batter is--mine was more liquid than normal cake batter.
      Thanks!

        Hi Terri, thank you so much for reaching out. I am sorry it as crumbly for you. IF you look at the video of how to make the banana bread and scroll to about 45 seconds in you will see me pouring the batter into the pan, the batter is quite runny. Using the eggs that are varied in size can affect the batter for sure, I would weigh it out, a large egg is roughly 57 grams in size. Also, I have never used the Kite Hill yogurt so I am not sure of the texture compared to Greek yogurt, as Greek-style is so thick. Also, make sure your baking soda is still good and fresh, it can lose its power easily. Please let me know if you try it again, I would love to know how you get along! XX Liz
