Bangin’ Whole Wheat Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Bread
Bangin’ Whole Wheat Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Bread
This banana bread is so moist and delicious- it will be hard to eat just one piece! With only 1/4 cup of maple syrup, the sweetness of this bread comes mostly from the bananas and vanilla (and chocolate chips!). Great as is, or with a smear of nut butter. Perfect for a quick breakfast paired with a glass of nonfat milk (or milk alternative), or greek yogurt.
