    If you're craving a big slice of vegan banana bread, this recipe is the answer! It only takes a few simple steps to whip up. Plus, this banana bread is freezer-friendly so you can make a big batch for later too.

    I love eating slices of this banana bread covered in nut butter or drizzled with a fresh berry sauce. If you're serving your banana oat bread as a dessert, you could even top it with a scoop of dairy free ice cream!

    This Oat Flour Banana Bread recipe is…

    • Gluten-free
    • Vegan
    • Dairy-free
    • Freezer-friendly (great for meal prep!)

    The oat flour keeps this recipe gluten-free and gives it a wonderful depth of flavor and texture. This has quickly become one of my favorite vegan baking recipes.

    Tips & Tricks

    Use Ripe Bananas

    Like any banana bread recipe, using very ripe bananas is key. You will find using extra-ripe bananas will give your banana bread that rich banana flavor, and the perfect texture.

    Lumps Are Okay

    When working with bananas, mashing them up is key. It's okay if there are a few smaller lumps of banana in the batter. Just make sure that all the other ingredients are well mixed.

    Loaf Pan

    I recommend using a loaf pan for this recipe. I used a 9"x5" pan, but you could also make mini loaves for gifting! Just bake the mini loaves for a shorter amount of time.

    Variations

    Chocolate Chips

    Grab some vegan-friendly, dark chocolate chips to stir into your oat flour banana bread. Just fold them into the batter right before baking, and bake as normal.

    Nut Butter

    You can add a swirl of this vegan Nutella, peanut butter, or any other nut better to your banana bread. Just add around ¼ cup of nut butter to the batter in the loaf pan, then use a knife to swirl in into the batter.

    Dried Fruit

    Dice up some dried fruit to mix in the batter for added flavor. Dried cranberries would be a really great pairing with this banana bread. You could even try adding some dried blueberries or strawberries!

    FAQs

    oat flour banana bread

    How do you make flax eggs?

    To make a flax egg, mix one tablespoon of ground flax seed and two tablespoons of water together and let it sit for 5–10 minutes. During this time, the mixture will thicken, and become a binder for the recipe.

    Can you freeze banana bread?

    You can freeze any bread you don't plan to eat right away. Place the loaf in a freezer bag or container and store for 2–3 months in the freezer.

    When you're ready to eat your bread again, you can thaw it in the fridge or on the counter at room temperature.

    Why is my bread brown on top but raw in the center?

    Because banana bread is very moist, it may take longer to cook in the middle. If you find the top of your bread is becoming too brown, place a tent of aluminum foil over the top of your loaf pan. This will help prevent the top from burning while the center of your bread continues to cook.
