Skinny Banana Bread

A surprisingly moist banana bread with a crispy oatmeal topping.

I know everyone's got their own favorite banana bread. I do too. But, I'm also always on the lookout for something new, and this banana bread fits the bill. Those of you who know me know I don't generally go for anything "low fat," "low cal," "sugar free," or diet anything - might as well call that stuff "fun free" as far as I'm concerned! But then I thought I could give it a try - just to prove it's untastiness, you know? Well, I didn't quite achieve that. Although this banana bread doesn't necessarily taste exactly like your standard banana bread, I found it a surprisingly moist bread. Give this bread a try and see what you think!
