Oatmeal Banana & Walnut Bread
I'd call this a skinny banana bread. It has no oil, no fat and is literally like eating a banana oatmeal porridge in a cake form. It's just bananas, oats and walnuts.
These are so good and moist, I'm craving for them right now as I'm writing down the recipe. It's so bananaaaney and delicious! One thing I know I can't resist is a good banana bread. Seriously, can you resist the smell of a freshly baked banana bread? I can't.
Tip: I love them with caramelised bananas and Wild Friends' chocolate peanut butter. So delicious!
