Healthiest Sugar-free Oat Banana Bread

 
 

This is very similar and adapted from my 5-Ingredient Blender Banana Bread, but I wanted to make a larger loaf (this one calls for a 9x5", that one only requires 8x4"), and completely omit the honey/maple syrup.

If you are looking for a chocolate-y banana bread, I would also recommend checking out my Chocolate Banana Bread, made chocolatey with anti-oxidant packed Cacao powder. It's totally refined sugar and gluten free!
