Easy and Delicious Banana Oatmeal Bread 

 

Gluten Free Oatmeal Banana Bread

 

 

As I was breazing through my kitchen last night I realized that I was about to let 3 bananas that were just about rotten enough go to waste and I thought it may be a good idea to test my culinary skills and whip up some banana bread, gluten free of course. The secret to making it taste like normal people food? (which by the way I dont even remember what real bread tastes like) OATMEAL! An amazing subsitute for for gluten and another great way to stableize the bread. So here is my made up, yet successful recipe for you all. 

1 cup of gluten free all purpose flour 

1 tsp of Xanathan Gum (this always helps) 

1/3 cup butter 

3 ripe bananas 

1 egg 

2/3  cup of oatmeal (not quick cooking oats) MAKE SURE OATS ARE GLUTEN FREE**** (Bob’s Red Mill makes them) 

1 cup sugar 

2 tsp baking powder 

1/2 tsp of salt 

I would also reccomend a pinch of vanilla and next time I am adding chopped up dates as well. This recipe is great because you can really just throw in anything you want, nuts, dried fruit, etc. 

 

Combine eggs, sugar, butter, vanilla. Then add the mashed up bananas.

Add baking powder and salt and then the oatmeal and the flour. 

Spread into greased loaf pan and bake at 350 degrees. 

 

Pre heat over to 350 degreees and cook for 45 minutes or until a toothpicks comes out clean when stuck in the center. Remove loaf from pan and let cool on a rack with a tea towel over top for 5 minutes before slicing. ENJOY! This recipe is EASY and quick to make and is a great snack to have around.
