Power Packed Oatmeal Banana Bread
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 4 ripe bananas medium in size
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup coconut sugar See Notes
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup butter or coconut oil melted
- 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
- 1/2 cup Namaste Gluten Free Flour Blend Or regular AP Flour
- 1/2 cup blanched almond flour
- 1/2 cup buckwheat flour
- 1/4 cup grassfed collagen optional if you have access to it
- 2 tsp aluminum free baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees and grease a standard loaf pan with butter or coconut oil.
- Mash the bananas with a fork or potato masher in a large mixing bowl until there are no large chunks.
- Add the eggs, coconut sugar, vanilla, and melted butter, and beat with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute.
- Add the rest of the ingredients, and blend to combine.
- Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan, and bake at 350 degrees for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the banana bread cool for at least 15 minutes before turning out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
- The coconut sugar leaves this banana bread with a mildly sweet flavor. If your crew is used to sweeter banana bread you could use up to 1/2 cup. On the other hand, if you have really little ones that don't know any differently, you can definitely get away with 1/4 cup of the coconut sugar, or even just a few tablespoons of honey or maple syrup. Other natural sweeteners that could work would be date or maple sugar. I do think honey or maple syrup would work fine too.
