GoNanas Oat Flour Banana Bread
Put those ripe bananas to use in the best banana bread recipe ever. This 5 ingredient vegan banana bread is so easy to make, delicious and moist! All you need is one bowl, some bananas, maple syrup, oil, milk of choice and a GoNanas Banana Bread Mix!
This truly is the best best banana bread mix I’ve ever tasted. As a Food Blogger, I’m constantly trying new products that come on the market. I have tried countless boxed pancake, waffle, cake, and muffin mixes. You can definitely get your hands on some good ones, but it’s rare to come across ones that are vegan, gluten free, nut free and THIS good! This is hands down the best healthy vegan banana bread I’ve ever tasted.
The best part about this eggless banana bread is it only requires one bowl, no fancy mixer, and only 5 ingredients. You also get the best of both worlds because these mixes are tasty enough to feel like dessert, but healthy enough to eat for breakfast.
If you want to spice up the one bowl banana bread you can toss in a cup of chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or raisins. You can also make this mix into banana bread muffins, which is what I’ve done.
Other Banana Bread Ingredients You Need Besides The Mix
- Bananas: The more ripe the better. It states on the packaging that you may only need 2 bananas depending on the ripeness of the bananas.
- Maple syrup or honey: If you want to keep this recipe vegan, use the maple syrup. However if that is not a concern of yours, honey works perfectly fine!
- Oil or Yogurt: I used oil in my recipe as that’s what I had on hand. For a lower fat option, yogurt works great. It adds even more moisture to this banana bread. I like to use yogurt as much as possible when I’m baking. Sour cream is a wonderful substitution for plain yogurt. You can use the two interchangeably in most baking recipes.
- Milk: Any plant milk with be great in this vegan chocolate banana bread. I used almond milk, but other milks like oat milk, soy milk, cashew milk, or regular cows milk will all work.
How To Mash Bananas For This Gluten Free Banana Bread Recipe
This trick I love to use when I’m in a pinch for time or feeling lazy – using your electric mixer to mash bananas. Break apart the bananas into 2 or 3 pieces and add to a regular mixing bowl and your hand mixer. Beat on low and gradually increase speed to high as the bananas begin to break down.
An alternative way, and how most people mash them bananas is with fork on a plate.
The Different Banana Bread Mix Flavours
This isn’t just a Betty Crocker Banana Bread, these mixes come in many different flavours. I tested and shot the Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Mix. This one is for the chocolate lovers who want a slice of nut free banana bread for breakfast while feeling good about it.
There is the Original Banana Bread Mix. If you’re looking for simplicity or want to get super creative in the kitchen, this is the mix for you! This mix makes the perfect and simple, healthy banana bread, but also leaves room for some fun mix-ins!
There is also a Blueberry Crumble Banana Bread. This flavour sold out in 3 hours, so they brought it on full time. It’s LITERALLY blueberry banana bread heaven in your mouth: made with dried blueberries and white chocolate, it tastes like a frosted blueberry muffin meets banana bread.
And last but not least, Salted Caramel Banana Bread. This one tastes like sticky toffee pudding. This caramel banana bread also did exceptionally well. It’s made with butterscotch chips, and who doesn’t love butterscotch chips. Add a few more ingredients with the mix and you’ve magically got yourself some 5 ingredient banana bread.
