    🍴 Recipe Tips

    Making this chocolate oat banana bread is easy and simple, as it should be! That said you can still add in a few fun twists to make it more unique.

    Swap out the chocolate chips for semi-sweet, milk chocolate, or even dark and you have a new combination of flavors. While I don't recommend using a harder oat like Steel, using a softer one would work if you're looking for oats without the texture.

    You can also make this bread sweeter by adding in more sugar but with the range of flavors already in this bread recipe, adding in ½ cup of brown sugar would work great for a little more depth of flavor with the sweetness.

    💭 FAQs

    What kind of oil can I use in banana bread?

    You can use vegetable oil, canola oil, butter, or even coconut oil depending on what you are looking for. Each will add a little fat into the bread and makes it moister but butter can help to make the flavor a little richer, whereas coconut oil makes it a bit healthier and adds a coconut flavor.

    How long is oatmeal chocolate chip banana bread good for?

    If you keep this moist oatmeal chocolate chip banana bread well stored at room temperature in an airtight container, then you can expect it to last about 3-5 days and still taste great.

    Can I use quick oats in oatmeal banana bread?

    You should be able to use quick oats in this banana bread recipe just fine but note that due to the extra processing on the quicker oats the oaty texture may be practically nonexistent.
