How to Make Banana Oatmeal Bread

Ingredients:

  • butter, softened
  • sugar
  • eggs
  • sour cream
  • vanilla extract
  • flour
  • oats
  • baking soda
  • salt
  • milk
  • ripe bananas, mashed

Directions:

You really do need to use a stand mixer for this banana bread recipe, or you’ll be standing there forever trying to stir it together.

For your wet ingredients, start by adding the softened butter and eggs to the bowl and cream together. Then add the eggs, sour cream, and vanilla extract and beat until fluffy.

This is the step that you really will appreciate the stand mixer doing all the work. Make sure you mix it for longer than you think. You want it really light and fluffy.

Next, in a small bowl, add the dry ingredients: flour, oatmeal, baking soda, and salt. Stir them together until well combined.

In another small bowl, add the mashed bananas and the milk together. Add 1/3 of the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and blend on low just until combined.

Then add 1/3 of the banana/milk mixture and combine. Continue alternating as you add them until they’re all combined, and no streaks of flour remain.

Then pour batter into a greased 9×5 loaf pan and bake at 350 for about 50-60 minutes or until it tests done.

The top might look too well done, but that’s just the way this type of oatmeal bread cooks.
