Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces ripe bananas
- 1.5 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 piece large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.
Add the melted butter, brown sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and milk to the mashed bananas. Whisk until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well using a whisk to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread light and tender.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then, transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve. Enjoy your delicious homemade Oatmeal Banana Bread!
