Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3 medium Medium Bananas (make sure they are very brown and spotty!) Ripe bananas add sweetness.
  • 2.5 cups Rolled Oats (divided; not Instant)
  • 0.5 cup Coconut Sugar
  • 0.25 cup Nut or Seed Butter
  • 2 tbsp Ground Flax OR Ground Chia Seeds + 6 tbsp Water Use as a vegan egg substitute.
  • 2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • 2 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract (Optional, but recommended)
  • 0.5 tsp Salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a small bowl, combine the Ground Flax OR Ground Chia seeds with 6 tbsp water to form an 'egg.' Stir and set aside for 5-10 minutes.
  3. Add 2 cups of the Rolled Oats into a blender or food processor and blend until they form a fine flour, about 45-60 seconds.
  4. Place the oat flour into a medium-sized bowl and add the Baking Powder, Baking Soda, the remaining 1/2 cup of Rolled Oats, and Salt. Mix well and set aside.
  5. In a separate large bowl, mash the Bananas with a fork until they are nice and runny. Add the Nut Butter, Coconut Sugar, Apple Cider Vinegar, Vanilla Extract, and the Flax or Chia Egg. Mix well!
  6. Slowly incorporate the dry flour mixture into the wet banana mixture, stirring until there are no more clumps.
  7. Pour the batter into a parchment paper-lined or greased 8" bread pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Baking
  1. Bake at 350°F for 60-70 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out cleanly or with minimal crumbs.
  2. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes in the pan. Then, take it out and allow to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Store in a container at room temperature for up to one week. For longer storage, refrigerate or freeze for up to 3 months. Toast slices in the oven or microwave for a warming experience.
