This week I took my traditional banana bread recipe and gave it a little extra something – brown sugar and oatmeal. I’m sure you all are like me and are always on the look out for a snack that’s healthy, filling and easy to make. This one fits the bill. My guys love it toasted with a little “smear” of cream cheese or peanut butter and it packs beautifully in a lunch bag.

The best thing about my “redo” was the streusel topping I added. The brown sugar, butter and oatmeal turned into lovely bits of sweet, crunchy caramel…oh yea baby! So, the next time you’ve got some overripe bananas hanging around, grab the brown sugar and oatmeal, you’ll be so happy you did. I’m a big fan of quick breads baked in a loaf pan and I’m tickled I can add this one to my line-up of easy to make recipes!
