Bread without flour, oil and sugar is that even possible? With this version of banana bread it's totally doable. Old fashioned oats is what replaces the flour. Maple or honey instead of sugar and to add color, eggs and baking soda to hold them all together, and bananas take care of the overall flavor.
How to make flourless banana bread?
You will need a blender to whip up this recipe. Just combine all the 5 ingredients until well-blended and smooth. Once that is done, transfer to a loaf pan and bake at 350 degree F for 35 minutes.
Some blender might not be able to blend the ingredients smoothly due to no longer sharp blades. For a successful blend, start by putting the bananas first. You may want to slice them. Next the oats, followed by the eggs, maple or honey and finally baking soda.
Using a spoon, mix the batter from time to time in between blend.
The 5 ingredients
- 3 overripe bananas
- 2 cups old fashioned oats
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup maple syrup or honey
- baking soda
This recipe is flexible that you can add a lot of toppings like nuts (pecans, walnuts, almonds) and chocolate chips. To make it fragrant, add a dash of vanilla extract and cinnamon powder.
How to Reheat
To enjoy your banana bread warm:
- Microwave: Place a slice on a microwave-safe plate and heat for about 10–15 seconds until warmed through.
- Oven: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Wrap the bread in foil and warm for about 8–10 minutes.
- Toaster Oven: Toast a slice lightly for a warm, slightly crisp texture.
Tip: A quick reheat brings back the bread’s soft, moist texture, just like freshly baked!
