Bananalicious! I had three ripe banana's that needed a home and this bread was caught my eye. The oats make this a nice dense loaf. I made three mini loaves which I baked for 25 minutes and they were done perfectly... DS asked me which one was his, lol! DH was just as bad and stood there drooling as I was taking the photos and even grabbed a slice before I was done! The entire house smelled wonderful while it was baking, so it's no wonder... I usually add cinnamon to my banana bread and missed it in this recipe, next time I'll be sure to add some. Made for 1-2-3 Hit Wonders game.

I thought this was a GREAT recipe! I used all whole wheat flour, applesauce for the oil, Splenda for the brown sugar (didn't use brown sugar at all), added 1 tsp cinn & vanilla. I was nervous as to the amount of bananas the recipe wanted, since they come in all sizes, but I used 1 1/2 cups very ripe, mashed bananas & that worked great! I also added a few tbsp of mini choc chips--yum! I also used 1/2 cup Eggbeaters, not regular eggs. I baked these as jumbo muffins & got 10 (350 degrees for 20 min!). They had a delicious flavor & heartiness. Thank you so much for sharing!

This tasted good though it was dry. You definitely need a glass of milk to wash it down! I tossed in 1 Tbsp. minature chocolate chips which was, of course, a nice addition.

Fantastic bread recipe!! I'm always on the lookout for healthier baked good recipes. This one is not only healthy but tastes GREAT, too. Perfect directions. I was worried at step 3 because the consistency was so dense and it didn't look like enough. After adding the mashed bananas and oatmeal , I knew there was no need to worry anymore. My bread took about 50 min. The loaf lasted only one day because my family kept going back for more! ~Aussie/NZ October Swap~

This has to be the first time that I hurried upped and waited for my banana's to go bad!!! Normally they go bad and I think banana bread... This is a very dense bread...I did add 1/2 cup of walnuts cuz I have to have nuts in my banana bread. :) This has a wonderful flavor. Worth every last point. Thanks for posting.
