Banana Oatmeal Bread

I absolutely love banana bread. Bananas add so much moisture to quick bread, as well as SO much flavour.

This bread is moist and fluffy (dense, too!), and loaded with flavour from the bananas and spices. I’ve thrown in some oats to this recipe which gives this bread a chewiness that is just divine. 

If you enjoy banana bread for an indulgent breakfast or a delicious snack, you need to try this Banana Oatmeal Bread – you won’t regret it!

How to make Banana Oatmeal Bread

To make this bread, simply start by whisking together the flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices. Set aside.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla, vegetable oil, yogurt, and bananas. Add to the dry ingredients, and mix until just combined – do not overmix.

Pour the batter into a greased 9×5-inch loaf pan lined with parchment paper and spread out evenly.

Bake for 50 – 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre of the bread comes out clean.

Leave to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing and serving.

The printable recipe card with the FULL list of ingredients and instructions can be found at the bottom of this post.

NOTE: For best results, I highly recommend using the gram measurements (with a digital scale), rather than the cup measurements.

Cup measurements are simply not accurate enough, and I cannot guarantee the best results if you use them.
