Banana Bread Recipe

This isn't your typical banana bread recipe.  This is the most delicious banana bread I've ever tasted. And, it's healthy and fairly low GI.  A great breakfast or midday snack.  So moist you won't need any butter!

1 cup packed light brown sugar
7 Tbsp vegetable oil
2 egg whites
1 egg
3 large, overripe bananas
1 cup old-fashioned oats
1/2 cup low-fat vanilla or plain yogurt
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 Tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Preheat oven to 350° F.  Coat 9 in loaf pan with cooking spray.

Beat sugar, oil, egg whites and egg in a large bowl.  Add bananas, oats and yogurt.  Mix well on medium speed.  In a separate bowl combine all dry ingredients.  Mix together with a fork until evenly combined.  Add to banana mixture.  Stir until just moist.  Add walnuts and stir briefly.

Pour batter into pan and bake for 70 minutes.  Remove from oven.  Cool in pan for 10 minutes.  Remove and cool thoroughly on wire rack.

Can be eaten immediately, but flavor will be best if wrapped tightly in aluminum foil and allowed to set overnight.
