Chocolate Oat Banana Bread (Vegan)

Spotty bananas??

Every week I go to the grocery store and buy at least 3 bunches of bananas. One bunch to freeze for smoothies and the other 2 bunches eat. 

Self-diagnosis: I have a banana problem!

But, the good thing is I always have some leftover bananas to bake with! I love to bake banana bread, muffins, cookies, wherever I can sneak their natural sweetness in. This bread is perfect for on-the-go breakfast, afternoon pick-me-up or for dessert.

Having consistent blood sugar levels provides us with a consistent energy boost. By structuring our meals in a balanced pattern, you will be less likely to experience a “sugar crash”.
