Bowl-of-Oatmeal Banana Bread

Adapted from this recipe. I reduced the sugar because I don't like banana bread too sweet, and I changed the flour to oats ratio. This is my new favorite banana bread recipe!

• 3 very ripe bananas
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/4 cup oil
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 1 cup quick oats 
• 1 cup flour (I usually use half all-purpose, half whole wheat)
• 1 tsp. cinnamon
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350. Mash bananas with brown sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla (I use my immersion blender for this step). Pour oats and flour on top of wet mixture. Gently stir cinnamon, baking soda, and salt into the flour, then mix all ingredients together until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips. Pour into a greased loaf pan. I like to sprinkle an extra handful of chocolate chips and some oatmeal on top, and some coconut for a special treat. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick or knife comes out clean. Cool for a few minutes before cutting. Enjoy!
