Healthy Banana Oatmeal Bread (5 Ingredients)
I’m always on the lookout for quick simple snacks that require very few ingredients that are all whole and you probably already have in your kitchen. This definitely hits those spots.
I’m going to greatly stress to you that this is not a traditional banana bread recipe. As you can tell from the ingredient list, it contains a very minimal amount of sweetener. If you would like a traditional banana bread recipe, please check out my delicious Super Moist Banana Bread. You will not be disappointed.
What you can do, is toss in sugar free chocolate chips, nuts, raisins or seeds to add some flavor.To finish this snack off, I like to serve it with some almond or peanut butter spread on top. Again, this is a protein and nutrient dense snack. And comes together so quickly in your blender or food processor. You can also use oat flour and mix the ingredients in a bowl.

I like things sweet how much brown or regular sugar should I add?
Hi Cornelia, I havent tried this recipe with sugar, but should work no problems. I would do 1/2 cup to 1/3 cup sugar if you like it sweet! Enjoy!
Will be in constant rotation. Cannot believe how good it is! I did add the vanilla and a few sugar free chocolate chips.
HI Kate, awesome! Glad you like the loaf!
I absolutely love this bread and so does everyone in my family.
Perfect and easy to make it,τέλειο!!!!
This is a wonderful easy and very healthy banana bread recipe, I absolutely love it!
Thank you so much for sharing it, it’s my favourite. I tried it recently and have now been making it repeatedly, one baking in the oven right now 🙂
So tasty and plenty sweet for us! I did sprinkle a small amount of brown sugar on the top to give it a nice sweet crust, Delicious!
I’ve made this a few times (always adding 3/8 tsp of salt) but today I had to change it up when I realized I was out of maple syrup. Instead I used molasses and since I was changing the recipe, I decided to really change it up. Added 1/2 tsp vanilla plus cinnamon, allspice, and nutmeg. Wow! I’ll be making it this way from now on
wow so delicious 🤤 we tried it and we keep and keep doing it. We are adding walnuts and dark chocolate as well…very delicious and easy to make. Our 2 year girl loves it was well❤️ Thanks you and all the best😁
I added cinnamon, walnuts, vanilla, and chocolate chips. I baked it the full 40 minutes and it turned out so soft, with some browning on the surface! It smelled amazing and definitely wasn’t sweet, however, it pairs great with sugar free maple syrup!
Amazing. I added chocolate chips.
Needed a quick recipe for over ripe bananas. I added cinnamon, vanilla and golden raisins. Bread turned out delicious! Even my husband who prefers sweeter and not too healthy foods raved about this bread. Will make again!
This is by far the easiest banana bread ever! I was afraid it would not be sweet enough but it’ perfect!!!!!
This is delicious! Anyway to add protein powder to the mix.
We make this spectacular banana bread twice a week. Easy to make and it’s healthy. What better
Hi! Can I replace the bananas with pumpkin puree?
This recipe is amazing and so easy. I make 1 to 2 loaves every week. I buy bananas just to make this banana bread, lol
