Yes this bread has oatmeal in it, and yes it is low-fat. Does that make it bad in the eyes of banana bread lovers?? I really don't know because I was never a huge banana bread fanatic, anyways. I mostly like to enjoy it crispy and toasted with lots of butter, which is exactly why I didn't make this into muffins. Although now that I think of it, banana cream cheese muffins would be pretty dang good. But that's besides the point. I'm still trying to be good here, so I'll save the unhealthy breakfast food for a special occasion. For now I'll just drink my coffee and eat a slice of this banana bread, toasted with butter. And wish that I didn't get woken up by Riley at 3:30 a.m. when I easily could have just made this banana bread at 7:00 a.m., especially since it involved a noisy electric mixer. Now it's 5:30 a.m. and I'm wondering how I'm going to make it through the rest of the day without a caffeine IV.
Low-Fat Oatmeal Banana Bread
yield: 1 9x5" loaf
INGREDIENTS
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup uncooked old fashioned oats
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
3 large bananas, ripe
3 tsp canola or walnut oil
1 large egg
2 medium egg whites
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9"x5" loaf pan and set aside. In a large bowl, stir together the dry ingredients.
In a smaller bowl, mash bananas with a potato masher or fork. Add oil and whole egg and mix thoroughly.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix well. Batter will be fairly thick (I added a dash of buttermilk at this point because my batter was dry).
In a medium sized bowl, with an electric hand mixer, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold the egg whites into the batter in three additions.
Pour batter into pan and bake until top of loaf is firm to touch, 45 to 50 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool in pan for 5 minutes. Flip out and cool on a wire rack for another 10 minutes. Slice loaf into 10 equally sized slices.
