breakfast banana blender bread

Are you impressed with my alliteration skills? I thought about throwing a “best” in there, but that would just be overkill. Really though, this recipe is the best. Who wouldn’t want to eat banana bread for breakfast? This is basically how I eat my oatmeal but in loaf form– still super healthy, satisfying, and perfectly sweet. If you thought breakfast couldn’t get easier than making a bowl of oatmeal it just did. It’s great to have this all prepped for breakfast in the morning. You can enjoy it at home or easily bring it to-go.

This beautiful loaf was actually also made by a blender (yes, my little mini blender). I took the rolled oats I always use for my oatmeal to easily create a flour (no need to buy oat flour or any other flour). You can also use the blender to quickly blend the wet ingredients together. Just combine the two parts in a bowl and you’re set!

I love to eat this warmed and smeared peanut butter with a side of coffee. This recipe is totally customizable too. Add different fruits, chopped nuts, or more spices. You could even add chocolate chips.  I hope you enjoy this fun way of mixing up your morning bowl of oatmeal!

Ingredients:

• 2 cups rolled oats/oat flour
• 1/2 cup rolled oats

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°
2. Add the oats to your blender. Blend until a flour forms. This will only take a few seconds.
3. Add bananas, maple syrup, vanilla, and milk to the blender. Blend until combined. If you like your banana bread to have a little more texture, pulse the wet ingredients to leave some chunks of bananas.
4. Combine wet and dry ingredients in a large bowl and add the baking powder. Add some regular rolled oats for texture. Fold in chopped nuts if you want.
5. Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan. Top with more chopped nuts. Bake for around 30 minutes or until golden brown on top and a toothpick comes out clean.
