About

I was trying to come up with something different to do with some rapidly aging bananas. Came across a beautiful looking Banana Oatmeal Bread on a Weight Watchers site. I added the vanilla, cinnamon, and coconut, and because I only had dark brown sugar, I split the different and used half white and half dark. You can definitely feel the oatmeal aspect of this recipe, so the closest bread I can equate it to would be a Date Nut Bread. I like it as is, but I'm thinking it would be really good grilled up for breakfast in a tiny bit of butter. Yumm!
