Ingredients

  • 2 cups oat flour 240g (I used Bob's Red Mill brand - recipe note #1)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats 96g
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened (plus more for greasing loaf pan)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • 3 very ripe bananas mashed

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 °F (177 °C).
  • Grease a loaf pan with butter.
  • In a medium bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir in oats.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment, beat honey and butter on medium-high speed until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time and mix just until combined. Add vanilla, milk and mashed bananas; mix just until combined, scraping down sides with a spatula as needed.
  • Mixing on low speed, add dry ingredients in two additions, scraping down sides as needed.
  • Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and bake 60-70 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. (Tent with foil if edges are getting too brown.)
  • Cool bread in the pan on cooling rack for 15 minutes. Remove loaf from pan and place back on cooling rack to cool completely. Slice and serve or, for best results, wrap tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. Then slice, toast and serve warm with butter.

Notes

  1. For this quick bread, I use Bob's Red Mill brand oat flour. I don't often mention ingredient brands, but oat flour consistency varies a lot from brand to brand. 
  2. You'll need a standard, 1 pound loaf pan for this recipe. 
  3. To cut the loaf into 12 slices easily: cut the loaf into quarters crosswise, starting in the middle. Then cut each quarter into 3 equal slices.
