I love buying bananas. Every time I go shopping, I pick some up. But with the inconsistent temperatures in my house, the bananas seem to go ripe a lot faster than I anticipate.
So of course, that just means that I can make more banana bread recipes for you!
The recipe for this Gluten Free Oatmeal Banana Bread is a winner in my books. Not only is it super easy to make, it is made without flour and can be topped with whatever you like. It goes well with everything!

I don’t know about you, but these are all of my pantry essentials. All you need is:

This recipe really helped me somewhere in the middle of my pregnancy when I had a full body rash. I had no idea what was causing it, so I cut out all of the common allergens, gluten being one of them. Turns out, it wasn’t gluten thank goodness! But regardless, this bread is a great alternative to regular banana bread.

Gluten Free Oatmeal Banana Bread
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups rolled oats
- 3 medium ripe bananas
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup milk of choice
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup oil
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup rolled oats
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a loaf pan with cooking spray and line the bottom with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a blender, pulse the oats until it turns into a fine powdery flour.
- Add in the bananas, brown sugar, milk, eggs, oil, baking soda, salt and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth.
- Add in the 1 cup of rolled oats and pulse 2-3 times. You don't want the oats to be too ground.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake in the preheated oven for 65-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Notes
- You can also use oat flour instead of making your own in a blender.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days.
- I use avocado oil, but any neutral oil works.
Oatmeal banana bread, sounds great! The holiday dinner would be incomplete without this!
Agree 🙂
This banana bread turned out great! The oats added such a nice heartiness, and it was super moist and full of banana flavor.
Yay! So glad you liked it!
My whole family loves this delicious and healthy loaf. And I love how easy it is to whip up. Thanks for this recipe!
So glad it was a hit with your family!
WE had a GF friend over last night and I made the banana bread as a treat. She absolutely loved it and asked for the recipe!
That makes me so happy to hear 🙂
Excellent idea to use oats for banana bread. I bet the flavor is so good. I am baking this next week before the holidays.
Yay!! Let me know how it goes!!
This gluten-free oatmeal banana bread is so delicious! I loved how moist it was!
So glad you liked it 🙂
Loved this gluten free banana bread. I did a trial run to see how it would turn out as want to make it over Christmas. Hubby and I devoured it in 2 days. Now making it again for holidays as I have a houseful of guests. Going to make it part of my Christmas Day breakfast spread!
Yay! This makes me so happy to hear!!
I can never turn down a slice of banana bread. It’s one of my favorites and I love that this is gluten free…perfect for my gut. Sounds and looks moist and delicious. Congratulations on your baby! What a beautiful holiday blessing 🙂
Same here! And thank you!! 🙂
Omg, this is my new banana bread favorite recipe. So easy and it turned out delicious. I used vegetable oil instead of avocado oil.
I am so glad you liked it!!
OH I am LOVING the addition of the oats in this! Such a clever way to incorporate them! This was such a hit with the family! Thank you for sharing!
That makes me so happy to hear 🙂
Could I use olive oil or canola oil in place of avocado?
Yes that would work!
Great recipe but the baking soda quantity MUST be in error!
2 tsp is unpalatable! Do you possibly mean 1/2?
I made this recipe into little cakes but have to douse the portions in lemon juice to neutralize the sensation it causes on the tongue and in the throat. I double-checked other recipes to see if this amount seemed high, and yes, it does. .
I am so sorry, I did mean 1/2 tsp! Thank you for catching that, and so sorry that it didn’t turn out for you
Is there baking powder in this recipe? It’s not listed in the ingredients but in the instructions it’s mentioned.
So sorry! I am so used to writing baking powder and baking soda in recipes that it was automatic. There is no baking powder in this recipe, I changed the instructions. Thank you for catching that!
This looks great! I really want to try it, but I’m wondering if my blender is up to the task. It’s probably at least 20 years old. The newer ones seem to be so much fancier and more powerful. Do I need a new one?
It really depends on the blender. I would say give it a go! Although, if you have a food processor that might work better if you don’t have faith in your blender!
