There’s something magical about the aroma of freshly baked banana bread filling your kitchen. In just 20 minutes of prep, you’ll have a batter ready to transform into a comforting treat.
Prep Time 20 minutes mins
Cook Time 55 minutes mins
Total Time 1 minute min
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup quick cooking oats
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 medium bananas
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- ⅓ cup whole milk
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Prepare a 9x5 loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl combine the flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.
In a separate large bowl, finely mash the bananas with a fork. Whisk in eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla.
Pour the dry ingredients into the bowl with the wet ingredients and mix by hand just until combined. Do not over mix as this can make the banana bread tough.
Pour the banana bread batter into the pan and bake for about 55 minutes or until a toothpick or cake tester comes out clean.
Enjoy as is with a cup of tea. Store at room temperature wrapped in cling wrap for up to 3 days. It also freezes really well for up to 4 weeks.
