Oatmeal Banana Bread Recipe: This Heart-Healthier Banana Bread is Loaded with Oats and Dark Chocolate | Breakfast

0


Banana bread is one of my favorite things to bake (and eat). As you can tell from all of the banana bread recipes on 30Seconds, we’re big fans and like to try different recipes. Guess it’s our quest to find the ultimate banana bread recipe for breakfast, snacks, or dessert!

As you know by now, I love trying to find ways to improve nutrition wherever I can. And lately, because I watch my cholesterol (thanks to my family history) that means incorporating lots of oats. (Oatmeal is packed with soluble fiber, landing it at the top of Mayo Clinic Cholesterol Lowering Food List.)

I wanted to see if I could make a more nutritious banana bread by adding oats, and I think I succeeded. The texture is different from typical banana bread (more hearty and chewy), but it’s just as delicious. My hubby, who is my official taste tester, gave this chocolate chip bread recipe two enthusiastic thumbs up (especially since he’s also loaded with dark chocolate, which has its own heart-healthy benefits)!
