We need to talk about this flourless banana bread…
Eating this delicious banana bread will probably remind you of a giant oatmeal chocolate chip cookie…
And you’ll still be dreaming about it for days after it’s gone, wishing you could have some more.
The recipe can be easily modified to fit different diets:
✓Flourless
✓Refined-sugar-free
✓Vegan, gluten-free, & oil-free options

Without any flour weighing down the recipe, the sweetness of the bananas really shines through.
Wholesome oats add substance, giving this bread its deliciously hearty texture.
And of course chocolate chips make everything taste even better… although the flourless banana bread is actually really good even without them!
You can also add raisins, shredded coconut, cinnamon, walnuts, or even dried cranberries for a Fall-ish banana bread.
Adapted from my Chocolate Banana Bread, which was the #1 most repinned recipe on my website for the month of September!
Guess you all really like banana bread!
Sorry, pumpkin.
The first step to making the flourless banana bread is to put the oats in a blender and blend until a fine powder forms.
This is what you’re using instead of flour in the recipe. Or for grain free, you could do the same thing with quinoa flakes if you’d prefer.
I also am working on a banana bread recipe using almond flour, so hopefully that one will be posted soon!

Flourless Banana Bread
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups mashed banana (420g)

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F, and grease a 9×5 loaf pan very well, making sure to go up the sides. Put the oats in a blender and blend until a fine powder forms. Add all other ingredients (except optional chips) and blend until smooth. Stir in optional chips if using. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, then bake on the middle rack for 35 minutes. Turn the oven off, but DON’T open the oven. Let the bread sit in the closed oven for another 10 minutes. Then remove from the oven and let cool completely before going around the sides with a knife, then inverting onto a plate.View Nutrition Facts

I’ve probably made this banana bread recipe over 20 times… I am not a baker but I love making this bread and my husband loves it too. It is our go to for a sweet and healthy dessert. I love the gooey texture and that it is made with healthy ingredients with no compromise on flavour. Thank you for posting this recipe and for all the yummy evenings we’ve had because of it.

Please I need a video of the recipe
This was awesome! I try lots of different banana or pumpkin breads for my kids and some are not that great but this was awesome and SO EASY to make! Great texture.
I only used 1/4 cup honey and that was sweet enough for us (but we’re used to things not too sweet)
I also added half a cup of walnuts into the mix and then just a few dark choc melts on top.
Love it! Thank you
Finally a banana bread recipe where you got the baking temp and time right!!! I always seem to over or undercook mine. Very clever to turn the oven off (the last ten minutes).
I added brown sugar to mine, but next time I might add a little more (did not add the chocolate chips this time). Overall great job! Thanks.
5 stars. Used only 1/3 cup honey. Added 4 chopped dates, which I rolled in the oats. Added 3/4 c. Broken pecans. No chocolate. It was delicious.
Hi! How many cups of oat flour would I measure if I already have the oats in the powder form? The same? Less? Thanks!
Is a ‘cup’ in the USA the same as a cup elsewhere in the world? I.e. 8 ounces equals 1 cup?
I love this bread I follow the recipe I add more cinnamon, I only add 1 tsp of honey also I add raisins and sultants it’s delicious
Thank you so much for making it 🙂
