Oat Flour Banana Bread

Oat Flour Banana Bread - a dense, chewy banana bread made from oat flour! Gluten free bread that even gluten-eaters will love!
Thank you Oat Flour Banana Bread. You’ve saved me.

I was diagnosed with Hashimotos (an autoimmune thyroid disease) a few years ago. With the diagnosis came the recommendation to avoid eating gluten, because it supposedly can trigger an autoimmune response and make the condition worse. So, I begrudgingly removed gluten from my diet for the most part.

It’s really not too bad…except for the occasional craving for delicious glutenous baked goods like banana bread.

But instead of just accepting my fate of no more banana bread, I took it as a challenge to create a yummy gluten-free version. And that’s how Oat Flour Banana Bread was born!

The oats in this banana bread makes it dense and chewy, which I love about it. Pro tip for eating this bread: eat it warm and buttered. I always pop a slice into the microwave for 10 seconds or so, and slather it with a dab of butter.
