This Banana Oat Bread recipe calls for two things that should probably sitting in your kitchen and does not require you to go out of your house and queue for 1 hour and so at the grocery. It’s fluffy, moist and super filling, it’s so good you’ll thank me later.

We are entering our second week of lockdown, and as much as possible we try to shop for 7-14 days to decrease our chance to get coronavirus. The more we are exposed to people, the higher the risk to get infected. So, I just used ingredients that are in my pantry. Luckily, I have very ripe bananas on the kitchen counter and some rolled oats in my pantry. Let’s start baking!

6. Add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture. Stir very slowly and gently using a rubber spatula until it’s incorporated.

7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon toasted oats on top of the batter for decoration.

8. Bake the banana oats bread for 30 minutes, then loosely cover the loaf pan with foil. Make sure that the foil shields both ends of the pan. Continue baking for another 35 – 45 minutes (65 to 75 minutes total), or until toothpick test comes clean.
