OATMEAL BANANA QUICK BREAD
Oatmeal Banana Quick Bread is perfect as breakfast on a busy day or as a snack to enjoy in the afternoons. Though the bread appears dense trust me it is soft, moist and hearty. An excellent way to include oats in your diet. The taste of banana is not overpowering. Cinnamon adds a subtle flavour and the walnuts add a bit of bite.
