Healthy Honey Oatmeal Banana Bread

This Honey Oatmeal Banana Bread is packed with nutrient-dense flours, sweetened naturally and uses just one tablespoon of oil. It's healthy and nutritious!

I woke up the other day craving a slice of honey oat toast. I didn't have the time or energy to deal with a yeasted bread, so I took one of my current favorite bread recipes, my Cranberry Banana Quinoa Bread, made some tweaks and turned it into this.

A semi-sweet, perfectly tender honey oatmeal banana bread that just so happens to be super healthy too!

It's sweetened with a blend of coconut sugar, bananas and honey, and uses four nutrient-dense flours for its base. Inside we've got protein-rich quinoa flour, almond flour which is full of healthy fats, oat flour which is high in fiber and flaxseed meal which contains omega-3 fatty acids. AND it only uses one tablespoon of oil!

And the best part? It's a honey oatmeal bread that you can make in less than an hour!

Unlike yeasted bread, this quick bread is actually quick to make. It gets its lift from a combination of apple cider vinegar and baking soda, as well as eggs. That makes it a bit more friendly on the gut, but still light and fluffy.

A thick slice of this bread is the perfect way to start your day!

You guys already know I like to slice up my whole loaf, freeze the sliced individually, and then I can just pull a few out when I'm ready for some brekkie.

For serving, I like to toast mine up, spread it with a little creamy peanut butter (or my maple cinnamon nut butter), then drizzle it with a touch more honey. It's simple, fast and super nutritious. It'll fill you up, give you a nice little energy boost and leave you feeling fueled all morning long!

    1. Applesauce. Use 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce in place of one egg in most baking recipes. …
      Banana. Use 1/4 cup of mashed banana (from about half a banana) instead of one egg when baking. …
      Flaxseeds. Believe it or not, hearty-healthy flaxseeds can be used as an egg substitute!

    1. Unfortunately, no 🙁 Those two flours are very specific in their properties, so you’d have to completely reformulate the recipe!

  1. I love this bread! I have had it every morning this week, toasted with peanut butter and a little bit of honey. Delish! I originally made because my 3 year old daughter seems to be having trouble with dairy and wheat. We have discovered that store bought gluten free bread is gross, so this was a great alternative! Thank you for the recipe!

    1. Yay! That makes me so happy!! I also adore it with PB and apples on top – thrilled your daughter likes it too 🙂 xo

  2. Could I leave out the rolled oats? Oat flour is easier to digest but raw oats I’d rather leave out…any suggestion what to substitute with? Quinoa flakes? Thanks Alyssa!

  3. Hi :)! Thank you so much for this amazing recipe! I’ve only recently discovered that I’m sensitive to gluten, and I’m completely new to gluten-free baking. Recipes like this one restore my faith in the possibility of happiness and health on a plant based gluten free diet <3!! Anyway, I'm still waiting for my order of gluten free oats (they're not available here, in Israel), so I made this recipe using a mix of gluten free flours I bought in a supermarket, which consists mostly of corn flour. It turned out great, maybe a little bit on the dry side but still fantastic, especially warmed, served with natural 100% peanut butter, as you suggesed.

    1. That sounds incredible! I’m so glad you were able to find a way to tweak it so it worked for you 🙂 xoxo
