Add nuts: Try adding chopped walnuts, pecans, or almonds to the bread batter for extra crunch and flavor.

Make it spicy: Add a pinch of nutmeg or ginger to the banana bread batter for a warm and spicy flavor.
Make it berry-taste: For a burst of fruity flavor, add fresh or frozen berries to the batter.
Top Tips
You have to use ripe brown bananas with plenty of brown spots to get the best flavor and texture. Use a potato masher or a fork on a plate to mash the banana well and get a smooth paste.
Make sure that eggs are at room temperature to create a smoother batter.
If you don’t have honey, you can use maple syrup or agave nectar instead.
Let the oat banana loaf cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before slicing. Removing it from the pan right after it comes out of the oven, your banana bread will most likely crumble.
