HEALTHY BANANA OAT BREAD

Food

Aug 5

I’m all about healthy breads these days… and I’m kind of surprised by it. I never considered myself really into baking, but healthy breads have become a real treat for me, so I’ve enjoyed making and trying different ones. I always stick to using oat flour, so it’s been fun creating different types of oat flour breads (I have a lemon one coming soon and it’s so good), I think the next thing I’ll try is almond flour or almond meal… I’m not even sure what the difference is between flour and meal, haha. Anyways, today I’m sharing a really yummy banana oat bread. It’s so good and so healthy, plus it has chocolate chips for a little added treat.

This banana oat bread is absolutely perfect if you’re looking for a healthy alternative, but still craving a little something sweet and carby (it’s carby a word? 😜) The oat flour makes it dense, so it’s filling, but it’s sweetened with banana and honey so you won’t crash afterword or feel gross.

My favorite thing about this bread is that it’s super easy to whip up and can be made in a single bowl. You just mix your wet ingredients first;

Bananas
Eggs
Honey
Greek yogurt
Coconut oil

Once you’ve whipped your wet ingredients, all that’s left is your dry ingredients.

Oat Flour (For the oat flour I use regular rolled oats and blend them in a blender. It’s super easy and now I use oat flour for everything.
Cinnamon
Baking powder

Lastly, I fold in the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts. Super easy, I love it.
