I posted this for Ruthie in the diet forum ... here is a copy of my post to her:

Ruchie: Here is how I make my banana bread -- keep in mind that i can eat wheat and oats... i also use two eggs b/c two eggs in a huge loaf of bread doesn't affect me... yes, i use sugar.

1 1/2 c whole wheat flour
1 heaping cup quick oats
1/4 c + 2 T brown sugar
1/4 c + 2 T white sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt

MIX WELL!

2 large or 3 medium bananas, well mashed
1/4 c extra virgin olive oil (I use colavita)
1/2 c applesauce
2 large eggs
1 T vanilla

MIX WELL!

Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients until well combined.

Mix in 1/2 to 1 c of chopped pecans.

Pour into 9 x 5 loaf pan thinly coated w/ extra virgin olive oil cooking spray.

Spread a thin layer of quick oats on top of the batter.

Cook at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until a cooking scewer or knife inserted in center comes out clean.

Allow to cool for at lease an hour before cutting!

I usually freeze half of it and bring it out after I have devoured the first half (which I keep in the fridge). I store each 1/2's of the loaf in ziplock freezer bags.

Tastes good toasted... you can top it with rice/soy butter and even some cinnamon and sugar if you want. )

I hope you like this... I have been eating it every day for over a year, lol.
