Low Fat Oatmeal Banana Bread Recipes

ALMOST NO FAT BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8x4 inch loaf pan.
• In a large bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon. Add egg whites, bananas and applesauce; stir just until combined. Pour batter into prepared pan.
• Bake in preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of loaf comes out clean. Turn out onto wire rack and allow to cool before slicing.

OATMEAL BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread 1 1/2 cups oats in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Place in the oven and toast for 8 to 10 minutes, until very light golden and fragrant, stirring once halfway through. Set aside to cool. Line a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper so that two sides overhang like handles. Lightly mist with nonstick spray.
• In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir in the toasted oats. Set aside.
• Mash the banana in the bottom of a large mixing bowl and double check to make sure you have 1 1/2 cups. Whisk in the honey, melted butter, milk, and Greek yogurt. If the butter resolidifies, warm the bowl in the microwave in 10-second bursts, just until it melts. One at a time, whisk in the eggs. Whisk in the vanilla extract.
• Add the dry ingredients to the banana-honey mixture. By hand with a rubber spatula, stir very slowly and gently, stopping as soon as the flour disappears. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle the batter with remaining 1 tablespoon oats for decoration.
• Bake for 30 minutes, then loosely cover the pan with foil, making sure that the foil shields both ends of the pan (because the bread is sweetened with honey, it will caramelize and become dark at the corners). Continue baking for 35 to 45 additional minutes (65 to 75 minutes total) or until a small, thin knife inserted in the center of the loaf comes out without any wet batter clinging to it. Repeat the test once or twice. An even easier way to tell is to use an instant-read thermometer. When the bread reaches between 200 to 210 degrees F at the center, it's done.
• Place the pan on a wire rack, and let the bread cool in the pan for 1 hour. Using the parchment paper handles, lift the bread and set it out on the rack to finish cooling completely. Slice and enjoy!

LOW FAT BANANA OAT BREAD

Steps:

• Sift first 6 ingredients (flour through cinnamon) together in a large bowl.
• Mix remaining ingredients in a small bowl.
• Mix wet ingredients into dry ingredients.
• Spray a loaf pan with cooking spray. Pour mixture into pan.
• Bake at 350 for 40 to 45 minutes or till tests done with a cake tester or toothpick. This will rise very high. If necessary, cover the top slightly with foil if top starts to brown too fast.
• Allow to cook in pan 10 minutes. Remove from pan and cool completely before slicing. Slices can be toasted in toaster oven or microwaved for about 20 seconds.

OAT FLOUR BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F.
• Using a food processor grind 3 cups of old fashioned rolled oats into fine oat flour. You want 2.75 cups of oat flour so if you end up short, grind more oats into flour. You want to grind so that your oat flour is very fine. (or you can purchase fine oat flour.)
• In a large bowl, mash bananas with a fork. Then, whisk together maple syrup, eggs, mashed bananas, and unsweetened vanilla almond milk.
• Add cinnamon, salt, baking soda, and baking powder to oat flour. Mix to combine evenly.
• Next, add the wet mixture to the flour mixture and mix until totally combined. The batter will be a little sticky, that's okay.
• Let the mixture sit for five minutes.
• Spray parchment paper with cooking spray and line a loaf pan with parchment paper. The paper will wrinkle, this is the price we pay for easier cleanup!
• Add mixture to your parchment paper lined bread pan and place it on the top rack of the oven.
• Bake for 50-55 minutes until inserted toothpick comes out clean.
• Let cool COMPLETELY. Ideally, let cool for a few hours on the counter, then let cool completely in the fridge overnight. This is so it doesn't crumble, but if you can't wait that long it will still be delicious!

LOW FAT OATMEAL BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a loaf pan and set aside. In a large bowl, stir together dry ingredients including the oats and cinnamon. In a smaller bowl, mash bananas with a potato masher or fork. Add oil and whole egg and mix thoroughly. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix well. Batter will be fairly thick. In a medium sized bowl, with an electric hand mixer, beat the egg whites until medium stiff peaks form. Fold the egg whites into the batter in three additions. Pour batter into pan and bake until top of loaf is firm to touch, 45 to 50 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool in pan for 5 minutes. Flip out and cool on a wire rack for another 10 minutes. Slice loaf into 10 equally sized slices.
