Banana Oat Bread

Posted by mariaeugeniadaniel on

I love love love banana bread, but my Amelia and Max (my 2 1/2 years old and 18 months old kids) love bananas and eat about 2 a day. So very rarely I had bananas that were ripe enough to bake with. And then I learned that by baking unpeeled bananas for about 5 to 10 minutes in a 375°F, they achieve the perfect ripeness for baking. I have tried many recipes and the one I loved the most was Chrissy Teigen’s Twitter (And Uncle Mike’s) Banana Bread from her book Cravings. If you haven’t tried it yet, I highly recommend it.

My banana bread is a modified version of that recipe, and it is now my and my family’s favorite. I hope you try it!!

I would love to see your pictures and read your comments. You can find me on Instagram and Pinterest.

Happy Cooking!
