This Double Walnut Oatmeal Espresso Banana Bread is made with rolled oats, walnut flour and chopped walnuts to make it doubly nutty and then infused with coffee. Gluten-free breakfast bread goals!
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Grease and line a (8” x 3½") loaf pan with parchment paper or foil (leave some overhang to lift out of pan later).
Process ½ cup oats in a food processor to turn into flour consistency.
Spread 1 cup oats on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for 8-10 minutes.
Transfer to a bowl, reserving 1 Tbsp for topping.
Add in oat flour, walnut flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt and combine.
In a large bowl, roughly mash banana with a fork.
Add eggs, milk, oil, instant coffee and vanilla, and whisk till pureed, about 30 seconds.
Add dry ingredients to wet, and stir/fold with a spatula.
Let batter rest for about 5-10 minutes to let it thicken.
Fold in chopped walnuts, reserving a few for the top.
Pour batter into prepared loaf pan, and sprinkle on reserved oats and walnuts.
Bake for 40 minutes, create a tent out of foil, loosely cover the top, and bake another 25 minutes. A tester inserted into center should come out dry.
Cool for 15 minutes, then lift out of pan using the lining. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 1 hour, and cut into slices.
