This Honey Oatmeal Banana Bread is packed with nutrient-dense flours, sweetened naturally and uses just one tablespoon of oil. It's healthy and nutritious!
I woke up the other day craving a slice of honey oat toast. I didn't have the time or energy to deal with a yeasted bread, so I took one of my current favorite bread recipes, my Cranberry Banana Quinoa Bread, made some tweaks and turned it into this.
A semi-sweet, perfectly tender honey oatmeal banana bread that just so happens to be super healthy too!
It's sweetened with a blend of coconut sugar, bananas and honey, and uses four nutrient-dense flours for its base. Inside we've got protein-rich quinoa flour, almond flour which is full of healthy fats, oat flour which is high in fiber and flaxseed meal which contains omega-3 fatty acids. AND it only uses one tablespoon of oil!
And the best part? It's a honey oatmeal bread that you can make in less than an hour!
Unlike yeasted bread, this quick bread is actually quick to make. It gets its lift from a combination of apple cider vinegar and baking soda, as well as eggs. That makes it a bit more friendly on the gut, but still light and fluffy.
A thick slice of this bread is the perfect way to start your day!
You guys already know I like to slice up my whole loaf, freeze the sliced individually, and then I can just pull a few out when I'm ready for some brekkie.
For serving, I like to toast mine up, spread it with a little creamy peanut butter (or my maple cinnamon nut butter), then drizzle it with a touch more honey. It's simple, fast and super nutritious. It'll fill you up, give you a nice little energy boost and leave you feeling fueled all morning long!
