Banana-Oatmeal Bread image

I love bananas and oatmeal, so when I saw this in the September 2004 issue of Cooking Light, I just knew I had to make it! I wasn't at all disappointed. The oatmeal makes it hearty and somewhat chewy, while the bananas and buttermilk make it sweet and moist - yet it is not as sweet or sticky-moist as some other banana breads I've had. This makes a smaller loaf than some recipes. I made 2 mini-loaves instead of one large one, and they were done in 30-35 minutes. EDITED to mention- Since I posted this recipe, I've made it several times. It has become THE banana bread recipe for this household, and when I give it as gifts it never fails to receive compliments. It is extremely versatile also. I have made it with yogurt in place of buttermilk, walnut oil for the vegetable oil, and I have cut back the sugar and added cinnamon as a couple reviewers suggested. This last time I made an eggless version by substituting 2 Tablespoons ground flax seed + 6 Tablespoons water for the eggs. (I think next time I will try a vegan version by also replacing the buttermilk with soymilk.) Every time it has turned out perfect!

Time 1h5m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups flour
2/3 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup oats
1 cup mashed banana
1/3 cup buttermilk (recipe says low-fat, but I used regular dry buttermilk)
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla (I used more)
2 eggs, beaten
cooking spray

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and spray a 8 x 4 inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
  • Combine dry ingredients together in a large bowl.
  • Combine banana, buttermilk, oil, vanilla, and eggs in a small bowl or measuring cup.
  • Pour wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently just until the dry ingredients are moistened.
  • Spoon batter into the prepared pan and bake for 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Cool on a wire rack, in the pan, for about 15 minutes (I left mine in longer and it was fine).
  • Remove the bread from the pan after 15 minutes and cool thoroughly on the rack.
