Really liked the oatmeal idea and it definitely makes the texture more interesting. I also added 1/2 cup chopped walnuts to mix it up a bit. Only used 1/2 cup of sugar as per other suggestions and found that it was sweet enough. This loaf is a good alternative to using up dead bananas in banana cake and I'm sure I'll make it again, thanks.

Very yummy and much healthier (yay!) than most of the other banana bread recipes I've come across. My loaf turned a gorgeous golden brown allover--it was the prettiest banana bread I've ever made. And, I loved the texture the oatmeal added to the bread--it gave it a much nicer mouth feel than your typical BB. However, I found mine to be a bit on the dry side. I don't know if it's because I added walnuts, but I don't see how that would make a HUGE difference. Next time I might bump up the buttermilk, bump down the cook time, or add a pan of water to the oven while this one cooks. Thanks for the yummy recipe!

I made it with splenda, a dash of cinnamon and a dash of dried orange peel. It had a good flavor and texture. Next time, I'll add nuts. Thank you for a tasty, semi-healthy treat!

Excellent Banana Bread !! Two of my favorite ingredients- bananas and oatmeal.It wasn't dry or too wet--just right ! I did substitute 1/2 cup of white flour with whole wheat, added 1 Tablespoon ground flax seed, 1/2 cup sugar instead of 2/3 cup & vanilla yogurt instead of buttermilk. This made 3 mini loaves so we can eat one and freeze the rest for a sweet emergency.
