A moist and tender gluten-free banana bread made with oat flour, perfect for breakfast or a snack. This recipe delivers a soft crumb with natural sweetness and is easy to make with simple pantry ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 cups (200g) gluten-free oat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ¼ cup (85g) honey or maple syrup
  • ½ cup (120g) plain Greek yogurt (or dairy-free coconut yogurt)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup (75g) unsalted butter or coconut oil, melted
  • ½ cup (60g) chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch (23×13 cm) loaf pan with butter or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together oat flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until mostly smooth but still a bit chunky. Add eggs, honey or maple syrup, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and melted butter or coconut oil. Whisk until just combined.
  4. Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula. If the batter feels too dry, add a tablespoon of milk or dairy-free alternative.
  5. Fold in the optional chopped walnuts if using.
  6. Scrape the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top. Fill the pan about ¾ full.
  7. Bake on the middle rack for 50-60 minutes. Check at 50 minutes by inserting a toothpick; it should come out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs. If wet, bake in 5-minute increments.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack before slicing.

Notes

Use very ripe bananas for best moisture and sweetness. Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the bread light and tender. Let the bread cool completely before slicing to prevent crumbling. Parchment paper helps with easy removal and cleanup. For vegan version, replace eggs with flax eggs and use dairy-free yogurt and coconut oil.
