This family friendly vegan banana bread is delicious, low calorie, moist, and fluffy! It's so easy to make and bakes up in less than an hour!
Preheat oven to 375
Mix together the mashed bananas, butter, maple syrup, almond or oat milk, baking soda, baking powder, vanilla, and cinnamon.
Then, mix in the oats and the flour until smooth. Don't over mix!
Pour the batter into a greased 9x5 loaf pan and bake in the oven for 40-50 minutes until golden brown on top. Check it with a tooth pick to make sure it's done!

Posted on: May 20, 2020Do you have to use GF all purpose flour or can you substitute a different GF alternative such as, almond flour or arrow root powder?
JillianGlenn
Posted on: May 20, 2020It needs to be all purpose. The only one that MIGHT work would be oat flour but I can’t guarantee!

Posted on: May 20, 2020Can you use reg butter if you’re not vegan? If so is it the same amount? Thx!
JillianGlenn
Posted on: May 20, 2020Absolutely! The same amount will work just fine!

Posted on: May 20, 2020Hey !
Can we use almond butter instead of vegan butter?
Jillian Glenn
Posted on: May 20, 2020Absolutely 🙂

Posted on: May 20, 2020Would half a cup of maple syrup work?
Jillian Glenn
Posted on: May 20, 2020I don’t see why not! Let me know how it goes!

Posted on: May 20, 2020Sooo good. I’m always leery of baked goods with bananas because they ALWAYS seems to overpower the recipe. Not with this recipe. It is moist and not too sweet. A delight.
Jillian
Posted on: May 20, 2020Wonderful to hear! Thank you so much for trying my oatmeal banana bread! I am thrilled you have enjoyed it!

Posted on: May 20, 2020Hi Jill, love your recipes! Can we use gluten free rolled oats instead of quick oats? Thanks!
Jillian
Posted on: May 20, 2020Hi Mary, thank you so much! I would recommend blending the oats slightly to chop them up into smaller bits (similar to quick oats texture). It will help this bread get nice and soft. Can’t wait to hear how you like them!

Posted on: May 20, 2020Would this recipe be amiable to use for muffins and can blueberry’s be adddd to the batter.
Jillian
Posted on: May 20, 2020Hi Gina, I have an oatmeal banana muffin recipe that I think you’d love! I’m sure blueberries would be delicious in these.

Posted on: May 20, 2020I made this last night, and it turned out soooooo good! The bread is soft and hearty and not too sweet. It’s definitely a new favorite. I was running low on some things, so I made a few substitutions: 1 cup of cow’s milk and a 50/50 mix of salted and unsalted butter.
I topped the first slice, still warm from the oven, with a pat of butter and a drizzle of honey. It was divine!
Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe.

Posted on: May 20, 2020I forgot to mention that I only had rolled oats (instead of quick oats), but I just hit them with a handheld blender to break them up a bit and they cooked into the bread just fine. Easy peasy. 🙂
Jillian
Posted on: May 20, 2020Thanks for sharing this tip Hannah! What a great way to make your own “quick oats”!
Jillian
Posted on: May 20, 2020Hi Hannah, thank you so much for trying my oatmeal banana bread recipe! I’m happy to hear it worked out well with you swaps! I also love enjoying mine with a pat of vegan butter and a little maple syrup 🙂 Have a great day!

Posted on: May 20, 2020Can I add nuts to the recipe? If so, do I change the baking time or the amounts of any of the other products? I’ve tried it without snd it is sooo good. Just had some walnuts lying around.
Jillian
Posted on: May 20, 2020Hi Nadine, you can definitely add nuts to the batter. I don’t think it will alter the baking time but you can always test it for doneness with a toothpick.
