Ingredients

  • 2 cups Oat Flour
  • 2 tablespoons Oat Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 cup Pure Maple Syrup
  • 2 Large Eggs room temperature
  • 1/2 cup Coconut Oil or Olive Oil melted coconut oil for subtle sweetness
  • 1 cup Ripe Bananas mashed
  • 2 tablespoons Greek Yogurt
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • 1 cup Blackberries cut in half

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even baking and perfect rise.
  • Grease your loaf pan with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the oat flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
  • In another bowl, beat the eggs. Then add the melted coconut oil (or olive oil), mashed bananas, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well incorporated.
  • Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently fold them together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
  • Gently fold the halved blackberries into the batter to evenly distribute them without breaking.
  • Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread light and fluffy.
  • Use ripe, spotty bananas for natural sweetness and moisture.
  • Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing to prevent crumbling.
  • Frozen blackberries can be used if thawed and drained to avoid excess moisture.
  • Try adding dark chocolate chips or walnuts for extra decadence.
