1 tsp vanilla extract

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving some hanging over the sides to make it easy to remove the loaf later.
Measure the butter, then place in a medium sized microwave-safe bowl and heat until melted. Whisk in the eggs, vanilla, and milk, then add sugar.
Mash the bananas with a fork to remove large clumps. Measure out 1½ cups of mashed banana* and mix it in with the other liquid ingredients.
Pour in the oat flour, salt, and baking soda, then whisk. Stir in chocolate chips or nuts if using.
Pour the batter into the lined loaf pan and bake in preheated oven for 55-70 minutes. Check on the banana bread after 40 minutes and if the top is getting too brown, loosely cover the pan with tin foil.
Remove from when a toothpick inserted in the middle of the loaf comes out clean. Let cool before removing from the pan.

Notes

Please Note: I highly recommend using a kitchen scale to weigh your dry ingredients. Metric measurements are found above under the "Metric" tab.

Flour: It is very important that you measure your flour properly! The right way to measure your oat flour is to weigh it using a kitchen scale, or use the scoop and level method.

Chocolate Chips and Nuts: Feel free to add chocolate chips, chopped walnuts, pecans, or other nuts.

Mashed Banana: This recipe calls for exactly 1½ cups of mashed bananas, so measuring it out is an important step. If you have more than 1½ cups, discard the rest because adding more could affect how the recipe turns out.

Storage and Freezing Instructions:

Store in an airtight container or wrapped in aluminium foil at room temperature for up to 4 days. Freeze for up to 3 months by wrapping individual slices or whole loaf in tin foil and placing in a Ziploc bag. Thaw in the fridge or at room temperature.
