Banana Oats Bread

I was looking for something with B and ended up making a banana oats bread. The inspiration for this bread were the ripe bananas that were lying around. The moment Hubby dear said we have to use up the ripe bananas I knew I had to bake something with it. This bread uses wheat flour and oats flour and is very dense. it's more like a filling up loaf when you are hungry.



I didn't take chances in checking it ahead of time and left it almost to its nearing. I ended up with a tasty bread but one that was quite heavy. However Hubby dear and Konda liked it a lot and I guess I settle my case on that. I used roasted almonds that gave a delicious nutty taste to the bread.



This is the second post for our Bake a thon series.
