Spiced Banana Oat Bread

Tammy Circeo
Somehow we always end up with overripe bananas on the counter! This dense, delicious spiced banana bread is the perfect way to use them up.

Ingredients
  

  • 3 overripe bananas
  • 1 egg
  • ¼ cup almond butter can sub any kind of nut butter
  • 3 Tablespoons butter melted
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¾ cup milk can sub any kind of milk
  • 1¾ cup almond meal AKA almond flour
  • 1¼ cup 1:1 gluten-free flour blend
  • 1⅓ cup gluten-free oats
  • 1 Tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon cloves
  • 2-3 Tablespoons brown sugar for the top of the loaf

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper, or lightly grease the pan.
  • Mash the bananas with a fork in a large bowl, then add the egg and mix it with the bananas.
  • Add the almond butter, butter, brown sugar, maple syrup, sea salt, and milk. Stir to combine.
  • Add the almond meal, gluten-free flour blend, gluten-free oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and cloves. Combine well with the wet ingredients.
  • Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Put 2-3 Tablespoons of brown sugar down the center of the loaf.
  • Bake for 1-1 hour 15 minutes, checking after an hour. A toothpick or cake tester will come out clean.
  • Let it rest in the pan for about 10 minutes, then lift it out using the parchment paper. If you haven't used parchment paper, loosen the sides with a knife and transfer it to a cooling rack. Allow it to cool completely before slicing. It's even easier to cut the next day ... then treat yourself to a little griddled buttered slice!
