Our Go-To Flourless Banana Bread (One Bowl)
This banana bread is simple, healthy, cozy, and reliable — the kind of recipe you’ll memorize without trying. And honestly, those are the best ones.
Ingredients
- 3 –4 large ripe bananas mashed
- We actually measure ours — about 460g mashed bananas
- 1/2 cup raw honey
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
- 4 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups oat flour We make our own by pulsing old-fashioned rolled oats in a food processor and keep it on hand for all kinds of recipes
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 3/4 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 5 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips or mix-ins Walnuts work great, but our personal favorite is no sugar added Lily’s dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Mash the bananas in a large bowl until smooth.
- Add the wet ingredients: almond milk, applesauce, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir until fully combined.
- Add all dry ingredients directly into the same bowl. Stir until just combined — no fancy technique needed.
- Pour the batter into a parchment-lined loaf pan.
- Bake at 350°F for 35 minutes.
- Turn off the oven and let the loaf sit inside for an additional 10 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 30–45 minutes before slicing (we know, it’s hard — but worth it).
