    Tips & Tricks for Banana Oat Bread

    Ripe Bananas 

    Using ripe bananas is important as they will give your bread that rich banana flavor. If your bananas are a little under-ripe, warm them in the oven in the peel for 5 minutes or so to help them ripen naturally. Then cool and mash. 

    Mixing Ingredients 

    You do not need a mixer to make this banana bread. You can use a spatula or whisk to mix up the batter. It's okay for the bread to have some lumps from the bananas. 

    Variations to Banana Oat Bread

    Nuts 

    Do you like a crunch to your bread? If so, add some pecans or walnuts to the mix. You can around ½ cup of nuts. 

    Chocolate Chips 

    Stir ½ cup of chocolate chips into the banana batter to add a nice chocolate twist to your bread. You can use milk, semi-sweet, or even white chocolate chips! 

    Nutella 

    You can pour half the batter in the pan, and then swirl in some Nutella. Then pour the rest of the batter over the nutella and bake. The nutella will add a rich flavor to the bread. 

    Banana Oat Bread FAQs

    Where do you find oat flour? 

    You can find oat flour in the specialty section at most grocery stores. They will carry special flours that are great for those on special diets. You can also order flour and ship it to your home. 

    How do you know when the oat banana bread is done? 

    The bread is done when you stick a toothpick in the bread and it pulls out clean of wet batter. The center will take longer to bake compared to the sides. For this reason, it's better to stick the toothpick into the center of the bread to test its doneness.

    What if my top is getting too brown and my bread is not done baking? 

    Take aluminum foil and tent it over the center of the bread. This will help protect the bread from browning too much and still allow the bread to cook more. 

    Can you freeze the leftover bread? 

    This bread will freeze for 2–3 months. Simply wrap the bread in foil twice and place in an airtight container. Then freeze as directed.
