In this <\/span>recipe<\/span><\/span>, I use lots of different seeds because it gives a nice consistency and they are full of nutrients and vitamins<\/strong>. And you might ask why I use ground flaxseeds. The reason is simple – when they are ground your body absorbs nutrients better. Actually, your body can’t digest whole flaxseeds<\/strong> at all.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Banana<\/span> bread<\/span> with oats<\/span> is our go-to breakfast<\/strong> during busy mornings. And is by far one of my favorite healthy recipes. When we hit the gym in the morning I make it the night before. If you’re not on the run you can make it the same morning as the preparation takes only about 5 minutes<\/strong> or even less.<\/span><\/p>

Usually, banana<\/span> bread<\/span> has to be in the oven for almost an hour but this one only needs a maximum of 30 minutes because it’s not that liquid.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Serve with <\/span>homemade <\/b>peanut <\/b><\/span><\/span>butter<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span> or any other nut butter<\/span> or drizzle over with maple syrup<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>

Can you put oats<\/span> in banana<\/span><\/span> bread<\/span><\/span>?<\/span><\/h2>

Oats<\/span> are a perfect substitute for flour<\/span><\/strong> in banana<\/span><\/span> bread<\/span><\/span>. You don’t even have to blend them and can just mix them in. Both rolled <\/span><\/span>oats<\/span><\/span> and quick oats<\/span> work.<\/span><\/p>

Banana<\/span><\/span> bread<\/span><\/span> is moist thanks to the mashed <\/span><\/span>banana<\/span><\/span><\/strong>. If you want it to be moister you need to add more bananas but keep in mind that in that case, it will need more baking.<\/span><\/p>

Should banana<\/span><\/span> bread<\/span><\/span> be gooey in the middle?<\/span><\/h2>

Banana<\/span><\/span> bread<\/span><\/span> can be a bit gooey in the middle but if it’s too gooey and won’t stick together<\/strong>, it means that it needs more baking at a lower degree.<\/span><\/p>

How ripe should bananas be for banana<\/span><\/span> bread<\/span><\/span>?<\/span><\/h2>

The riper the bananas the sweeter and tastier your banana<\/span><\/span> bread<\/span><\/span> will be. There is no such thing as a too-ripe<\/strong> banana<\/span> for this 5 <\/span>ingredient<\/span> banana<\/span><\/span> bread<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>

Wondering if the size of the bananas matters?<\/span><\/h2>

In this recipe<\/span>, I’m recurring to the regular medium-bigger size<\/strong> bananas. If you have smaller bananas you might need to use more than 2.<\/span><\/p>

Can you substitute for quick-cook rolled <\/span><\/span>oats<\/span><\/span> in this recipe<\/span>?<\/span><\/h2>

This 5 <\/span>ingredient<\/span> banana<\/span><\/span> bread<\/span><\/span> recipe<\/span><\/span> can be made with any oats<\/span> including quick oats<\/span> and rolled <\/span><\/span>oats<\/span><\/span><\/strong>.

Ingredients<\/span><\/h2>

Oats<\/b><\/span>:<\/b><\/span> Both rolled <\/span><\/span>oats<\/span><\/span> and quick oats<\/span> work in this recipe<\/span>. I like to use quick oats<\/span> for softer bread<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>

Bananas: <\/b><\/span>Make sure to use ripe bananas<\/span><\/span> because they are sweeter and keep the cake mix<\/span><\/span> more together.<\/span><\/p>

Ground flaxseeds: <\/b><\/span>Can be left out but it’s a good source of omega 3 – alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) which is essential for good health. Your body can’t digest whole flaxseeds which means there is no benefit to consuming them whole.<\/span><\/p>

Chia seeds:<\/b><\/span> Can be left out but it’s also a great source of omega 3 – alpha-linolenic acid (ALA).<\/span><\/p>

Cinnamon:<\/b><\/span> Gives a great hint to this vegan <\/span><\/span>banana<\/span><\/span> bread<\/span><\/span>. Make sure to use Ceylon cinnamon which is the healthiest type, contains lots of beneficial nutrients, and doesn’t have toxic properties. The ideal would be organic Ceylon cinnamon.<\/span><\/p>
