How to make Oat Flour Banana Bread

Prepare

Fire up the oven so that it can preheat while you work. Line the bottom of a loaf pan with parchment paper and rub the sides of the pan with oil. Set aside. 

Mix

In a large bowl, add the wet ingredients and mix with a whisk until everything is combined well. In a medium bowl, add the dry ingredients and mix until everything is incorporated. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and continue mixing with the whisk until smooth.

Bake

Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and bake in the oven until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let the banana bread cool completely in the pan.

Enjoy

Once completely cooled, remove the loaf from the pan. Slice, serve and DEVOUR!

How to store and freeze Banana Bread

Once you’ve baked a batch or 2 of this delicious oat flour banana bread recipe, you’ll want to make sure you store it correctly so that it keeps well. I recommend wrapping it tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and storing it in the fridge for up to 5 days. If you want to freeze it for easy grab and go snacks and breakfasts, I recommend slicing it into serving sized portions and wrapping each portion in plastic wrap. Next, toss the wrapped portions in a freezer style zip lock bag and they will keep for up to 3 months.
