Banana Berry Oat Bread

Description

This banana berry oat bread is soft, moist, and naturally sweetened with ripe bananas and honey. Packed with juicy mixed berries and wholesome oat flour, it’s a delicious breakfast, snack, or light dessert that’s easy to make and family-friendly.

Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1½ cups oat flour
  • 2 eggs
  • ⅓ cup honey
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth.
  3. Whisk in eggs, honey, milk, and vanilla.
  4. Stir in oat flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in the mixed berries.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
  8. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack before slicing.

Notes

  • Fresh or frozen berries both work well. If using frozen, do not thaw first.
  • Avoid overmixing to keep the bread light and tender.

Tips

  • Sprinkle rolled oats on top before baking for added texture.
  • Add chopped walnuts or pecans for a crunchy twist.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to 1 week.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use all-purpose flour instead?
Yes. Substitute the oat flour with the same amount of all-purpose flour.

Can I make it dairy-free?
Yes. Use almond, oat, or soy milk instead of dairy milk.

Can I freeze the bread?
Absolutely. Wrap slices individually and freeze for up to 3 months.

How do I know when it’s done?
Insert a toothpick into the centre. If it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, the bread is ready.

Can I use only one type of berry?
Yes. Blueberries, raspberries, or chopped strawberries all work beautifully.
