This bread is perfect for breakfast, or for a sweet treat!
I had so many ripe bananas that were on the brink of going bad, this was the perfect way to transform them! This bread is super beautiful and moist. It has no added sugars, plus it’s lactose & gluten free – if you use gluten free oats, or you can just substitute them with more almond meal. This amazing bread was created by Happy Healthy Gigi.

Is it 2 drops or 1/2 a tsp of vanilla? Both are listed.
Tray, It's 1/2 tsp…just corrected. Thanks for letting us know. 🙂
How much vanilla is needed for the apple part? Is it the same needed for the banana portion?
I like the helpful information you provide for your articles. I’ll bookmark your blog and take a look at again right here regularly. I’m somewhat sure I will be informed many new stuff right right here! Good luck for the next!
Nutrition info?
Adrielle, We’ll be adding as soon as possible. This recipes was submitted by a guest food blogger. Thanks!
Kathy, Wheat bran should work fine!
What would be an acceptable substitute for the almond meal? I have ground flax and ground chia seeds.
Deb, I think either should work.
Alice, Sure!
I would love to know which brand of stevia you bake with as I know that some brands have a very bitter taste which can then permeate the entire dish! Many thanks!
Leslie, Just make sure it says for baking on what you purchase. This brand is good: NuNaturals Morefiber Stevia Baking Blend Powder.
Can you use almond flour instead of almond meal?
Julie, Hmmmmm…I’m not totally sure. If you’re plan is to use gluten free flour, I would recommend being sure you have the right amount of protein.
I'm fairly certain the difference would be textural as almond flour is blanched skinless almonds and almond meal is ground almonds with the skin on so it is a bit coarser texture. I have interchanged them in other recipes and really don't notice a difference.
Do you swap them out for the same amounts> I also have almond flour
Sue, Do you mean the flour?
May I substitute steel cut oats for the oat bran?
Jennifer, I’m not sure if steel cut oats would work. You could try substituting with old-fasioned oats.
You can, though the bread may be chewier. Old Fashioned Oats ground in a blender are a closer substitute.
Can I substitute honey for the stevia?
Jaycee, Yes, honey should work fine.
Do you happen to know how many carbs are in a serving and what size is that serving? Thanks!
We’ll be updating the recipe with data soon.
Do you have the nutritional information for this recipe?
Heather, On our list to add the data! 🙂
When do we use the oat bran?
Heather, Combine the almond meal and oat bran…just updated recipe. Thanks!
