  • 1/2 c
    oat flour

  • 1 tsp
    vanilla extract
  • 1 c
    brown sugar (less to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp

How To Make melt in your mouth banana bread

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 2 8.5X4.5 loaf pans with baker's spray(nonstick spray with flour already in the can) or grease and flour pans. Set aside.
  • 2
    In a large bowl, beat brown sugar and butter till creamy. Add bananas and vanilla. Beat until bananas are fully incorporated. Add egg and beat again.
  • 3
    In a small bowl, combine the flours, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and salt. Add nuts to the batter and mix with a spatula(if not using, skip this step). Sprinkle the flour mixture on top of the banana mixture. Fold into mixture with a spatula, just until combined. Don't over mix! There will be lumps and dry patches in the batter, and that's okay.
  • 4
    Pour batter into prepared pans.
  • 5
    Bake at 350 for about 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out fairly clean. Let rest in pan about 10 minutes. Gently invert pans to remove the loaves, and rest on a wire rack till cool.
