Whole Wheat Oat Banana Bread

This banana bread is awesome! I used 1/2 cup flax seed meal, 1/2 cup of whole oats (ground up in the food processor) and 1 cup of whole wheat flour. I added more walnuts (3/4 cup), used 1 tablespoon of olive oil & added an extra egg (for more protein). And used 1 tablespoonful of vanilla. I love this recipe!

Thank you for posting an actual HEALTHY recipe! I love it when the ingredients listed don't have to be substituted for healthier alternatives!

This was really good and moist. For me it took a lot longer than 30 minutes to cook though, closer to 50. I did not use walnuts, but added about 1/4 c of miniature chocolate chips. I also used skim milk as opposed to the almond milk.

I was looking for a healthy banana bread recipe to replace my Betty Crocker one, and this is it! I was suspicious with such a low amount of fat and it being from olive oil, but this turned out perfect. No oat bran, so I used a smaller quantity of wheat germ and added a little more flour. Added some Mixed Sweet Spice too. Perfect!

Yummy!!! We made these into muffins (the recipe made 15 regular size muffins) and baked at 350 for 16 minutes. We left out the walnuts (personal preference), used 1% cow milk (what we had on hand) and added tiny semi-sweet chocolate chips. They are wonderful hot out of the oven, and make a perfect breakfast or snack. Thanks, Terry!!

Excellent! Very good bread - great texture and flavor and very healthy! I even substituted 1 c. almond flour (ground up almond pulp) for 1c. of the whole wheat flour and it worked perfectly! Will definitely be making this again.

This was a good banana bread. Nice and hearty. I used rice milk, because it is sweet, and used pecans, because I didn't have any walnuts. Will definately make again. Thank you for sharing.

I made these into muffins. The texture was good. I would have liked for this to be a bit sweeter. I did add 2 Tbsp. ground flax seed, used dairy milk, and left out the walnuts.

GREAT recipe - loved it!!! I used regular milk since that's what we drink, and mashed everything together instead of blending it. Also, I ran out of baking powder but used about 3 tablespoons of vital wheat gluten instead which worked great. It's pretty soft in the middle so it probably could have used another minute or two in the oven, but I like mine soft so it was fine with me ;) Great recipe!

WOW! These are amazing! The ingredients are perfect and healthy. I added 1/2 cup of ground flaxseed for extra fiber and good fats. I also threw in some cinnamon. Amazing muffins. Thanks so much for the recipe!

This bread had a light texture, crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside. I didn't have oat bran so made some coarse oat flour in the blender from rolled oats. I was short on honey so used 1/4 cup honey and 1/4 cup brown sugar. With a freezer full of over-ripe organic bananas which I wanted to use up, this recipe was perfect for a nearly fat free and guilt free snack. Loved using the almond milk and the small amount of olive oil. Such a healthful loaf that tastes great!

High mark for a healthy muffin, but they were flat and too sweet ( should've lessen the amount of honey because i use over riped bananas) Its hard to distinguish if they were done baking, for the outside browns quickly while the inside were still moist. The taste of honey is very distinct

Excellent bread. My husband usually doesn't care for healthy whole wheat bread but actually ate some of it and liked it! My oven seems to overcook things so I lowered the temp to 325 and baked it for 10 minutes longer and it came out perfect. I will be making this again, thank you for a healthy and tasty recipe. :)

Nice healthy recipe. I left out the walnuts and baked them as muffins. Not very sweet but nice flavor.

It's nice to get a healthy recipe that tastes so yummy. However, it took 55 minutes to cook (just like any other banana bread recipe) and a pinch of salt in the batter wouldn't have hurt.
