Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line the bottom of a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper and spray the pan (including the parchment) with non-stick spray.
Measure the oat flour: separate 2 cups from the 2 cups + 2 tablespoons total. Reserve the remaining 2 tablespoons for the blackberries.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups oat flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Set this dry mixture aside.
In a large bowl, whisk 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup and 2 large room-temperature eggs until well combined and slightly foamy, about 2–3 minutes.
Add 1/2 cup oil (if using coconut oil, make sure it is melted), 1 cup mashed ripe bananas, 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract to the maple-egg mixture. Stir until evenly combined.
Gently fold the dry mixture into the wet mixture with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
Place 1 cup halved blackberries in a small bowl and toss with the reserved 2 tablespoons oat flour until the berries are lightly coated. This helps prevent sinking.
Fold the floured blackberries into the batter gently, trying to distribute them evenly without breaking them up.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 45 to 60 minutes, checking at 45 minutes. The bread is done when a toothpick or cake tester inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs attached.
Cool the loaf in the pan on a wire rack for 10–15 minutes, then lift the bread out using the parchment and transfer it to the rack. Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing.
