Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas
  • 1 1/2 cups homemade oat flour (finely ground oats)
  • 1/2 cup plant-based yogurt
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (natural)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon (natural)
  • 1/2 tsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1/4 cup plant-based butter, melted

Optional Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/3 cup dairy-free dark chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries or raisins
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oat Flour: Measure the oats and blend in a high-speed food processor until a fine powdery flour forms, creating the base for the bread’s tender texture.
  2. Mash the Bananas: In a large bowl, mash ripe bananas with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth, leaving a few small lumps for texture.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: Add plant-based yogurt, maple syrup (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, vanilla extract (natural), and melted plant-based butter to the bananas. Whisk until fully combined and creamy.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together homemade oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon (natural), and a pinch of salt to distribute rising agents and spices evenly.
  5. Blend Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently just until combined to keep the bread tender. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Add Optional Mix-ins: Carefully fold in walnuts, chocolate chips, dried fruit, or spices if using, spreading evenly through the batter.
  7. Bake to Perfection: Pour batter into a greased loaf pan and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool before slicing.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas with brown spots for maximum sweetness and moisture.
  • Grind oats finely for a lighter, tender crumb.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread soft and fluffy.
  • Check doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean.
  • Allow bread to cool completely before slicing to maintain texture and shape.
