Whole Wheat Oat Banana Bread

Recipe #112478 | 50 min | 20 min prep | add private note

Very gooey and yummy, this is my favorite Banana bread recipe. TIPS: Buy whole wheat flour that has NOT been bleached. Use only PURE honey. Use Almond, Rice or Soy milk (try not to use cow milk). Extra virgin cold pressed olive oil has the best taste and has no extra junk in it. Use real vanilla extract, imitation has too many chemicals and not as good a flavor. Has plenty of fiber to help cleanse the colon which is always the best place to start cleaning for a successful diet and a healthy lifestyle.

I was looking for a healthy banana bread recipe to replace my Betty Crocker one, and this is it! I was suspicious with such a low amount of fat and it being from olive oil, but this turned out perfect. No oat bran, so I used a smaller quantity of wheat germ and added a little more flour. Added some Mixed Sweet Spice too. Perfect!

    Yummy!!! We made these into muffins (the recipe made 15 regular size muffins) and baked at 350 for 16 minutes. We left out the walnuts (personal preference), used 1% cow milk (what we had on hand) and added tiny semi-sweet chocolate chips. They are wonderful hot out of the oven, and make a perfect breakfast or snack. Thanks, Terry!!

    This bread had a light texture, crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside. I didn't have oat bran so made some coarse oat flour in the blender from rolled oats. I was short on honey so used 1/4 cup honey and 1/4 cup brown sugar. With a freezer full of over-ripe organic bananas which I wanted to use up, this recipe was perfect for a nearly fat free and guilt free snack. Loved using the almond milk and the small amount of olive oil. Such a healthful loaf that tastes great!

    Excellent bread. My husband usually doesn't care for healthy whole wheat bread but actually ate some of it and liked it! My oven seems to overcook things so I lowered the temp to 325 and baked it for 10 minutes longer and it came out perfect. I will be making this again, thank you for a healthy and tasty recipe.
