Ingredients

Scale

3 medium ripe bananas
1.5 cups rolled oats
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 large egg
1/3 cup butter, melted
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard 9×5-inch loaf pan.
Mash the bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth with a few small chunks remaining.
Whisk the melted butter and brown sugar into the mashed bananas until fully combined.
Beat the egg into the wet mixture until the consistency becomes light and uniform.
Stir in the dry ingredients including the flour, oats, baking powder, and cinnamon until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use bananas with dark spots for the best flavor and natural sweetness. To make this gluten-free, ensure your rolled oats are certified gluten-free. For a vegan alternative, substitute the egg with a flax egg and use coconut oil instead of butter. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze sliced portions for longer storage.
