Banana Bread with Oat Flour

All of us are looking for easy recipes using what we already have in the pantry. This is an adaption of my Zucchini bread recipe. I stocked up on oatmeal so Oat Flour was the obvious choice to keep it gluten-free. All you do is grind the oatmeal to make it into a flour.

This is a great recipe for kids. They can measure the dry ingredients, mush the banana with a fork and mix the ingredients together. You can keep it as healthy as you like or you can add some chocolate chips to the batter and a brown sugar crumble on top. This recipe does have eggs since there is not the extra liquid from the zucchini to keep it moist. You could use flax eggs or egg replacer to keep it vegan and a couple tablespoons of apple sauce to bind it and add some moisture.

Recipe: 2 cups oat flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp xanthan gum, 1 Tbs cinnamon, 2 Tbs chia seeds, 2 Tbs ground flax seed 3 Tbs PB2, 3 stevia packets, salt, mix together in one bowl. 3 overripe bananas-mashed, 3 eggs 3 Tbs maple syrup, 3 Tbs peanut butter. Mix together in separate bowl. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients slowly. Add chocolate chips, optional. Line pan with parchment paper add dough and brown sugar crumble, optional and cook for 30 min in a preheated oven at 350 degrees.

Let cool and enjoy.
