Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup Old Fashioned Oats
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 2 Tablespoons ground flax seed
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon arrowroot powder sub cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup coconut butter melted
  • 1 cup bananas mashed
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cashew milk sub plant milk of choice
  • 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 Tablespoons tahini paste

The Extras

  • 1/2 cup walnuts chopped
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips vegan

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350° and grease a 9xz5" loaf pan.  I used coconut oil spray.
  • Put 1 cup Old Fashioned Oats in a blender.  Blend on high speed for a minute or so or until oats are powdery like a coarse flour. 
  • Mix dry ingredients together in a medium-large bowl.  Set aside. 
  • Melt coconut butter in the microwave for a minute or until just softened and slightly runny.
  • Mash together overripe bananas. Depending on size, you will need 2-3.
  • Mix all of the wet ingredients together.
  • Make a hole in the middle of the dry ingredients.  Add in the wet ingredients all at once. 
  • Fold in and mix until all dry ingredients are moistened. DO NOT OVER MIX.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts. 
  • Cook in a 350° oven for 45-50.  The top should be lightly browned and a toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.  Caution - if you use chocolate chips in this recipe, make sure the toothpick isn't inserted in a chip as it will not be clean.
  • Let rest till cool enough to handle.  Then turn out onto a rack. This bread will cut best when completely cooed but will taste best when a little warmed.
