Recipe type: Breakfast
Serves: 2 mini loaves
Ingredients
  • ½ stick butter, room temperature
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup milk (I used 1%)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 Baking Flour, plus more for coating pans
  • 1 cup Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Old Fashioned Rolled Oats (not quick cooking), plus more for topping
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon, plus more for topping
  • 2 small to medium mashed ripe bananas (mash until very soupy)
  • ½ cup raisins
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease (with cooking spray) and flour two mini loaf pans. Set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, or stand mixer, cream together butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and mix on low until smooth. Add vanilla and milk and mix until smooth.
  3. Add flour, salt, cinnamon, and baking soda and mix until combined. Mix in oats and mashed bananas and stir until combined. Let batter sit for 5 minutes.
  4. After batter has rested, stir one more time until smooth. Fill each pan ¼ full with batter. Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of raisins and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar evenly on top of batter. Cover raisins and brown sugar with a thin layer of batter until pan is about ½ way full. Sprinkle another layer of raisins and brown sugar on top of batter. Add remaining batter on top of raisins and brown sugar. Top each loaf with a sprinkle of oats, raisins, cinnamon, and brown sugar.
  5. Bake at 350 in the center of the oven for 35 minutes or until toothpick inserted into center of loaves comes out clean with very few moist crumbs.
  6. Remove from oven and set on cooling rack for 10 minutes. Run a sharp knife along the edges of the loaves to loosen from pan. Gently flip loaves out onto palm of your hand (so you don't loose the topping) and invert right side up onto cooling rack to continue cooling. Allow loaves to completely cool before slicing and serving.
  7. If you enjoy warm banana bread, as we do, heat each piece in the microwave for 10 seconds before serving.
