Step 1: Gather Your Materials

First, gather all materials needed as well as optional materials or add ins that you would use! Some add ins like chocolate, raisins, and walnuts go well with this bread.

Step 2: Add All Your Wet Ingredients Together

To begin this recipe, we will take your wet materials (honey, maple syrup, and melted coconut oil) and mix thoroughly.

Step 3: Add Your Bananas and Mash

Next, add the two ripened bananas to the wet mixture and mash into the bowl with a fork or tool of your choice.

Step 4: Add Almond Milk and Stir

Next, select your milk of choice (if it is not VANILLA flavored, add an extra tsp of vanilla extract to your mixture.) Stir after this addition. Set aside.

Step 5: Begin the Dry Mixture

Measure out 1 cup of oats dry (oatmeal), and add to a blender on Ninja Bullet. Screw on the cap.

Step 6: Blend the Oats

Next, power your oats on high until a refined small texture that suits a dry powder.

Step 7: Add Oats to Wet Mixture.

Now, add the blended oatmeal to your wet mixture then mix once again. Whisk lightly and fruitily.

Step 8: Add the Dry Ingredients to Your Wet Oat Mixture

Add the baking powder, dash of cinnamon, a grind of sea salt, baking powder, and cup of flour of your choice to the wet oat mixture and blend or stir until a consistent, even texture.

Step 9: OPTIONAL: Prepare Your Add-ins

If choosing for a more fun, exciting banana bread add in some add-ins! For example, I added whisked orange dark chocolate, raisins, and chopped walnuts.

Step 10: MIX Your Final Dough!

Mix it mix it mix it! (Add the add-ins).

Step 11: Add the Dough to a Pan

Add the dough to a lightly greased square or loaf pan. Even it out.

Step 12: Bake at 375 for 25-35 Minutes Until Cooked.

Check with a chopstick to see if the dough sticks or not. When it is not, take it out of the oven.

Step 13: Cut & Serve and Enjoy!
