How to Make the Recipe

Now, let’s get to the fun part—making the banana bread!

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
2. Using a food processor, grind 3 cups of rolled oats into a fine oat flour. You want about 2.75 cups of oat flour, so if you end up short, just grind more oats until you reach the right amount. The finer the flour, the better!
3. In a large bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until smooth. Then, whisk together the maple syrup, eggs, mashed bananas, and unsweetened vanilla almond milk until well combined.
4. Add the cinnamon, salt, baking soda, and baking powder to the oat flour. Mix to combine evenly.
5. Next, pour the wet mixture into the flour mixture and stir until everything is totally combined. Don’t worry if the batter is a little sticky; that’s perfectly fine!
6. Let the mixture sit for five minutes to thicken up a bit.
7. Spray parchment paper with cooking spray and line a loaf pan with it. Yes, the paper will wrinkle, but trust me, it’s worth it for easier cleanup!
8. Pour the mixture into your parchment-lined bread pan and place it on the top rack of the oven.
9. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
10. Let it cool COMPLETELY. Ideally, let it cool for a few hours on the counter, then transfer it to the fridge overnight. This helps it hold together better, but if you can’t wait that long, it will still be delicious!

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are some of my favorite tips to ensure your banana bread turns out perfectly every time:
