    Slices of oat flour banana bread on a plate.

    Slices of oat flour banana bread on a plate.

    It's tough to get gluten-free baked goods right. The texture is always a little off and they are just never quite as good as their conventional counterparts. This oat four banana bread breaks the mold. I am not even gluten intolerant and I'd pick it over "regular" banana bread any day.

    The sweet, nutty flavor from the oat flour and the moist, chewy texture of the loaf is to die for. Banana flavor permeates every inch of this delicious, homemade quick bread. You even get the satisfaction of saying you made your own flour. It doesn't get more "from scratch" than that. Happy baking everyone!

    Why You'll Love This Gluten Free Banana Bread

    This oat flour banana bread has been a favorite for my readers for years. Here are a some of the things that make it so love-able.

    • Totally from scratch. This banana bread recipe takes "made from scratch" one step further. You are actually making your own flour. It's so satisfying.
    • Unique flavor. The oat flour in this recipe imparts a nutty, subtly sweet flavor to the banana bread that you would not get from all-purpose flour.
    • Chewy texture. The texture of the loaf is slightly heartier and chewier than conventional banana bread. It makes for a more satisfying snack.
    • Gluten-free and still delicious. It's hard to find gluten-free alternatives to your favorite baked goods that actually hold a candle to the gluten-full versions. Not here. This oat-flour banana bread is gluten-free and, in some ways, even better than conventional banana bread.

    Why Make Banana Bread with Oat Flour?

    Even if you aren't gluten intolerant I highly recommend making banana bread with oat flour. Not only is it incredibly satisfying to make a quick bread out of flour that you made yourself but oat flour imparts more flavor than all-purpose flour. It also yields a unique chewy texture that is to die for. So, whether your body tolerates gluten or not, you have to give this recipe a try.

    Recipe Ingredients

    Here is a list of ingredients you will need to make oat flour banana bread. Don't forget to scroll to the recipe card below for detailed measurements.

    • Oat Flour - Read on to learn how to make your own from rolled oats. If you are gluten intolerant be sure to select gluten-free oats
    • Unsalted Butter
    • Granulated Sugar
    • Eggs- Room temp
    • Pure Vanilla Extract
    • Baking Soda
    • Salt
    • Greek Yogurt - I like using plain or vanilla-flavored Greek yogurt. The choice is yours.
    • Very Ripe Bananas - If your bananas aren't yet ripe, bake them on a baking sheet at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes, allow them to cool, and incorporate them into the recipe.

    How to Make Oat Flour

    Making oat flour is surprisingly easy. Simply pour rolled oats or quick-cooking oats into a food processor or a high-powered blender and process until you achieve a fine flour-like texture. The oat flour will not have the same texture as regular, all-purpose flour. It will be a little bit less fine and will have some chunks of oats in it.

    How to Make Oat Flour Banana Bread

    In just a few simple steps you will have a delicious loaf of gluten-free banana bread that will have you coming back for seconds and thirds. Here's how to make it. Make sure to scroll to the recipe card below for more detailed instructions.

    • Prep. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 9X5 loaf pan.

    • Cool the bread in the pan on a wire rack for 30 minutes before removing it from the pan and allowing it to cool completely.

    Tips for Success

    Get ready to make the best banana bread recipe with oat flour you could possibly imagine. Just follow these simple tips and tricks and you'll be on your way.

    • Make sure the bananas a brown enough. The browner the better here. Over-ripe bananas add sweetness and moisture to the banana bread that under-ripe or yellow bananas do not. If your bananas aren't quite ripe enough, pop them in the oven at 350 degrees for 20 minutes, let them cool, and incorporate them into the batter.
    • Don't over-mix. Over-mixing the batter will end you with a tough, overly dense loaf. So, when making the batter, be sure mix only until everything is just incorporated. The batter will not be perfectly smooth and that's ok.
    • Add the bananas last. Adding the bananas to the batter last ensures that you still get some good chunks of banana scattered throughout the bread.
    • Brown sugar. Consider sprinkling some brown sugar on top of the loaf before baking. This will yield a sweet, crunchy top.

    What to Serve with Homemade Banana Bread

    A slice of homemade banana bread is a treat all on its own but that doesn't mean you can't pair it with a delicious spread, a warming beverage, or serve it as part of a full-blown brunch. Here are some ideas for you.

    • With a spread. Throw a slice in the toaster and lather it with butter, nut butter, or your favorite jam.
    • With a warm beverage. I love sipping on a cup of hot coffee and nibbling at a warm piece of oat flour banana bread on a lazy weekend morning.
    • Brunch time. Serve this gluten-free banana bread with eggs, bacon, and maybe even a mimosa and call it brunch.
    • Make it dessert. This quick bread is just sweet enough to serve as a dessert. Top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream after dinner. Try my Cake Batter Golden Oreo Ice Cream and/or my Stabilized Whipped Cream.

    Can I Make Oat Flour Banana Muffins Instead?

    Of course, you can! My Oat Flour Banana Muffins are to die for. It's the same batter but the recipe is adapted to be baked in muffin tins. One great part about turning this oat flour banana bread into muffins is that they require much less time in the oven. Give it a try!

    How to Store Leftovers

    Allow the banana bread to cool completely before sealing it in an airtight container. It can be stored at room temperature for up to 4 days. You can place a paper towel at the bottom of the airtight container and on top of the loaf to soak up any condensation. This will prevent the banana bread from becoming soggy.

    Can I Freeze This?

    You can! Allow the loaf to cook completely before sealing it in an airtight container and storing it in the freezer for up to 3 months. Allow the oat flour banana bread to thaw at room temperature before diving in.

      The taste was amazing however the top was getting crispy and the middle was still gooey. What did I do wrong?

        Hi Alicia, I would guess that your oven might run hotter than its saying, most home ovens run cooler or hotter and should be calibrated. With that said next time I would just tent the bread- use a lightly greased piece of foil to gently cover the top of the cake- this help prevents the top from browning while the rest cooks. Same idea when using a pie crust shield. I hope that helps! Let me know if I can help with anything else. Take care. XX Liz

          Will see, it's in the oven now. I too used store bought oat flour and I did sub 1 thing .I used Coconut sugar a full cup. (in My regular recipe it says use a cup of sugar and i use 1/2 for the right reasons, never any issue) I wasn't going to be upset if it didn't turn out with the coconut sugar; it of course is much darker in color. Yes Gooey but yummy ,next time i'm going to just put 1 tablespoon of Yogurt. I'm playing with your recipe. My Husband will eat anything thats good.VERDICT YUM! I read the comments while it was in the oven. I did 'tent' it and i think its important to let it cool in the pan 30 mins.. Wee bit crispy around edges , But thats ok .YUM

            I wanted to up date this. The next morning this cake/bread was not gooey but moist its fabulous, i loved the coconut sugar sub ,So much more Healthy. Both my husband and myself think it tase more like a cake. The coconut sugar satisfies me so i dont feel like i need to have another piece. It partly the refined sugarcane that makes a person eat a whole bag of oreos .I dont know anyone that eats a coconut and say,"That simply wasn't enough,I will have another coconut.

      Thank you for this banana bread recipe. It is a snap to put together. Mine did come out very gooey and after 70 minutes in the oven, it fell and was still gooey. It actually looked like a bread pudding, and that is how I served it. The taste was fantastic. I read all your responses to people who also had theirs gooey in the center;however, I think I had followed all your suggestions. The only difference was that I used store bought oat flour. Today I'll try it with ground up oats. Either way, this recipe is a keeper.

      After baking an hour and a half, this recipe still was gooey in the middle. I subbed almond milk for the yogurt and Eggbeaters for eggs. Won't try it again. Mine went in the trash!

        Hi Mary Ann, thanks for reaching out. I am so sorry you did not have success with the recipe. I do feel that the one-star review was not fair since the ingredients you used were not the same ones listed in the recipe. Almond milk is a straight liquid where Greek yogurt has a much thicker texture- this alone would totally affect the bake of the banana bread. I personally have never used eggbeaters but since they do not have the yolk in I can imagine that too would definitely affect the bake of the bread. Please let me know if you ever try the recipe again. Take care. Liz

      It came out perfect. I had tried a different recipe that didn't have butter or Greek yogurt and that recipe came out too dense and dry. This recipe was soft, moist and absolutely tasty. Even after refrigerating it and heating it up in the microwave, it was as soft and tasty as if it just came out of the oven. More calories or not, it's absolutely worth it!

      After trying several gluten free recipes, this one is by far the best!
      Full of flavor, moist and not grainy.
      My kids couldn’t believe it was a healthy banana bread!
      I replaced the granulated sugar with organic coconut sugar and since I had run out of vanilla extract I used maple syrup instead. (same quantities for both)

      Try it! You’ll love it!

      I had major issues where the batch overflowed from my 9x5 loaf pan and had to spend some time cleaning my oven halfway through its cooking time. I had a feeling this was going to happen just looking at the amount of batter that was going in...
      I followed the recipe to the T. Any idea why this may have occured?

        Hi S.C., I am so sorry you had trouble. I don't ever have trouble with this and plenty of other readers have not. There are a few reasons as to why a cake might over flow- if there is too much batter if there was too much chemical leavening agent in the recipe (I would check you measured this accurately), if you used self-raising flour instead of plain all-purpose flour or if your pan is not deep enough. Please let me know if I can help with anything else and if you try the recipe again. XX Liz

      This recipe begins with 4 oz 1/2 cup butter, but 4 oz is 1/4 cup. Which is it, 4 oz or 1/2 cup? I suspect 1/4 cup with the Greek yogurt as a substitute for the other 1/4 cup of fat that many recipes use.

        Hi Kerry, 4oz of butter is actually 1/2 cup also 113 grams. So it's 1/2 cup or 1 American stick of butter, not 1/4 cup. Please let me know if I can help with anything else or if you try the recipe! XX Liz

        Hi Lydia, thank you so much! You can definitely freeze it, let the loaf cool completely after baking then you can freeze it in loaves or in slices. Just wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, twice then store it in a freezer-safe bag. Please let me know if you have any further questions!! XX Liz

      Absolutely LOVED this recipe! I had actually planned on making a glaze to top it off with, but once I snuck a piece fresh out of the oven I was like it didn’t need anything more! It was super moist (I know everyone hates that word, but in the world of gluten-free bread, that’s a BEAUTIFUL word ). Even my gluten-loving husband couldn’t get enough of it! Absolutely is my new go-to banana bread recipe.

      I tried to make a "healthier" version of this so I replaced the sugar with 1/2 cup of honey and the butter with 1/2 cup of coconut oil and it was amazing. Next time I'm thinking of adding a little more honey –maybe like 3/4 cup– because I'm such a sweet-tooth.

      I used slightly less sugar and opted for brown sugar instead, and once half way through baking noted it was cooking a little too quickly, so turned it down to 165c and baked an extra 15 - it came out perfectly!

      I made this recipe the other day. The taste is good but the texture was a bit off. The center wasn’t gooey like other people mentioned (it seemed to cook fully in 1 hour), but after letting it cool I tried to cut a piece and it just all crumbled. Even now after two days, whenever I try to cut a piece, it keeps on crumbling so I can’t really eat it as regular banana bread but somewhat more like bread pudding. Where could I have gone wrong? I used the ingredients listed - the only change was that I used regular non fat plain yogurt instead of Greek yogurt. Thanks in advance for the feedback!

        Hi Carla, thanks for reaching out. The texture is going to be different than wheat flour banana bread. I can slice mine into slices but sometimes it does crumble a little. Did you weigh your banana, my one thought is that potentially there was too much banana that affected the structure of the cake. Please let me know if I can help with anything else. XX Liz

      Hi Liz,
      We don't have a gluten intolerance, but we love oats! This bread is moist and delicious! I used 1/3 each white, coconut, and brown sugar. Also subbed liquid coconut oil for the butter. (I can't resist putting butter on warm banana bread, so:-) Added about 1/4 cup ground flax seed, and 3/4 cup chopped walnuts, too. I was out of yogurt, so I used the approximately 3T of sour cream there was left in a container. With all of those differences, the bread was still awesome! And, we live at high (7500 ft) altitude. Now, that's a great recipe! Thank you!

Like many others, I found that the middle of the loaf was very moist/ gooey even after baking for an hour and 10 minutes.-Which I LOVE! I always cool my quick breads, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, chill, then enjoy out of the fridge sliced like a slab of fudge. And this recipe was perfect for that! Also, I added chopped walnuts and chocolate chips. Divine!

I have had to play with the temp/baking time a bit for my oven but have found I have the best results baking on convection at a little lower temp.

        Hi Sherry, you could try substituting flax eggs or 1/4 cup apple sauce for each egg. For the flax egg, you take 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed and mix it with 3 tablespoons water then let it sit for a few minutes to become gelatinous.

I followed the recipe as written except I used 1/3 C. sugar and 4 T honey for sweetener since the banana is already so sweet. Thank you for this awesome recipe.

I only made a few minor adjustments (lessened the sugar to 1/3 cup Zulu a sugar and 1/3 cup maple syrup and added 1 round scoop of cocoa powder) and baked for 73 minutes.
