Interesting Banana Bread

I have a favorite banana bread recipe. It’s a recipe I have been using since I was a young girl and first learning to cook. Funnily enough, the base recipe is the recipe that came with the Oyster mixer. I have adjusted and tweaked it over the years, but it is definitely my go to.

So that is what I compare all banana bread too. If it is a 10, this one is a 6.

The banana flavor is good. I ended up using three bananas, I think it would have been better with four.

The oats are what make this bread different. I still haven’t decided if that is good or bad.

The bread has a crunchiness to it because of the oats.

The bread is moist and goes great with a little butter.
