This gluten free banana bread is super easy to make and is so comforting. It is naturally gluten free because it is made with oat flour.

Mix the rolled oats with mashed bananas and a few other ingredients to make a healthy and delicious oatmeal banana bread. I love to serve a slice of this warm for breakfast with a cup of coffee.

What is oat flour? Can I make oat flour at home?

Oat flour is just rolled oats that have been ground down into flour. You can buy oat flour at the grocery store or make it at home from rolled oats.

To make your own oat flour at home put rolled oats in a blender and blend. Bled until a smooth flour remains.

Then you can use your homemade oat flour to make this oatmeal banana bread or other oat based recipes! Try these other recipes made with oat flour!

What if my bananas aren’t ripe? You can ripen bananas in the oven!

There is nothing worse than waiting for your bananas to ripen so that you can make a loaf of banana bread. Luckily there is a trick that will help you get ripe bananas in 15 minutes.

To ripen bananas quickly, preheat your oven to 300F and place bananas in their peel on a baking sheet. Bake for 10-20 minutes at 300F and remove from the oven as soon as the peel turns black.

Allow the bananas to cool slightly. Then, peel the bananas and use them in your recipe!

Let’s make some Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Banana Bread!

Step 1: Prepare batter

To begin, preheat the oven to 350F and line a loaf pan with parchment paper or grease with oil. Then, mash the ripe bananas in a large bowl with a potato mashed or the back of a fork.

Next, whisk in the eggs, oil, maple syrup and vanilla extract. In a separate bowl combine oat flour, rolled oats, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

Then, fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients and fold in chocolate chips.

Next, pour the batter into the loaf pan. Top with additional chocolate chips, oats, and a sprinkle of sugar to get a glistening top.

How should I store this oatmeal chocolate chip banana bread?

I personally store this banana bread in the refrigerator. It should be good in the fridge for up to 7 days. I like to remove from the fridge and reheat each slice in the toaster oven.

    I made this banana bread as muffins this morning and I’m obsessed! Rolled oats are hard to come by where I live, so I used quick oats and they worked perfectly. Coconut oil worked well, too. I’ll definitely be making these again!

    Loved this banana bread! I felt like it was more of a “baked oatmeal” texture with the oat flour and rolled oats, but that made me enjoy it even more at breakfast time. I made it in a loaf and can’t wait to make in a muffin tin!
