Notes
Use very ripe bananas as they incorporate into the batter better than firmer fruit and they add perfect sweetness to the bread.
Store Banana Oat Bread in an airtight tin or wrapped in kitchen foil. This is a very moist recipe and wouldn’t fare well stored in a plastic container or cling film.
Banana Oat Bread freezes very well in slices or as a whole.
