Whole Wheat Oat Banana Bread

TERRY DAVIS in Summerville, SC.'s Note:

Very gooey and yummy, this is my favorite Banana bread recipe. TIPS: Buy whole wheat flour that has NOT been bleached. Use only PURE honey. Use Almond, Rice or Soy milk (try not to use cow milk). Extra virgin cold pressed olive oil has the best taste and has no extra junk in it. Use real vanilla extract, imitation has too many chemicals and not as good a flavor. Has plenty of fiber to help cleanse the colon which is always the best place to start cleaning for a successful diet and a healthy lifestyle.

This banana bread is awesome! I used 1/2 cup flax seed meal, 1/2 cup of whole oats (ground up in the food processor) and 1 cup of whole wheat flour. I added more walnuts (3/4 cup), used 1 tablespoon of olive oil & added an extra egg (for more protein). And used 1 tablespoonful of vanilla. I love this recipe!

This was really good and moist. For me it took a lot longer than 30 minutes to cook though, closer to 50. I did not use walnuts, but added about 1/4 c of miniature chocolate chips. I also used skim milk as opposed to the almond milk.
