Banana Bread with Oat Flour

Cultural Context

Banana bread is a beloved American classic, often made to use up overripe bananas. It became popular in the 1930s during the Great Depression as a way to minimize food waste. This version, made with oat flour, caters to those seeking gluten-free options while retaining the comforting, sweet flavors of traditional banana bread. Today, banana bread is enjoyed in various forms worldwide, with many adding nuts or chocolate for extra flavor.

1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan (or use a muffin tin, lightly greased or lined with paper liners).

2

In a large bowl, add 2 cups of gluten-free all-purpose baking flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt and mix together.

3

In a separate bowl, add 0.5 cup of softened butter and 0.5 cup of turbinado sugar and cream them together.

4

Add 2 lightly beaten eggs to the butter and sugar mixture.

5

To make this recipe vegan, you can replace the eggs with 2 additional bananas and use vegan margarine instead of butter.

6

Next, add 3 tablespoons of maple syrup and stir it in.

7

In another bowl, mash 6 ripe bananas. If the bananas aren't ripe enough, put them in a brown paper bag for a couple of days to hasten the ripening.

8

Add the mashed bananas into the wet ingredients and stir until well blended.

9

Combine the banana mixture with the flour mixture and mix until the batter is just moist.

10

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.

11

Bake the banana bread in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes.

12

Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the loaf to see if it comes out clean.
