5 2 Published Oct 01, 2024 Usually when I bake with oat flour I do a combination of oat flour and almond flour (like with my tahini banana bread and protein banana bread) because oat flour on its own can sometimes lead to dense baked goods, but not with this recipe! I was so pumped that this banana bread didn’t turn out dense. It’s moist, fluffy and seriously has the BEST texture! I can’t wait for you to try it!

Serving Suggestions
Few things are better than fresh, warm banana bread! I love eating a slice for breakfast toasted with butter or nut butter. Here are some ideas:
Enjoy a slice for breakfast alongside your morning coffee with a little butter and a dash of cinnamon. Or spread on some jam (this strawberry chia jam would be delish) and nut butter. If you’re making this during the fall, it would be tasty with a spread of my pumpkin butter or apple butter. For a more protein-packed breakfast serve a slice alongside my scrambled egg whites, egg white bites and/or a protein shake. Serve this banana bread for brunch alongside my cottage cheese quiche or egg white quiche, fruit salad and mimosas. So yummy!
How to Store and Freeze
After your oat flour banana bread has completely cooled either wrap it with plastic wrap or aluminum foil or store it in an airtight container on your countertop for 3-4 days or in the fridge for up to 1 week. If you want to store it for longer, you can store this loaf in the freezer for up to 3 months! You can freeze the full loaf or pre-slice it for easy serving when you’re ready to thaw and enjoy. To thaw, place bread in the fridge overnight, at room temperature or defrost in the microwave or toaster oven.
