Banana bread ingredients: oats and bananas

Banana bread has always been that perfect grab-and-go breakfast for me. It's like a warm hug in the form of food, especially on busy mornings. And when it's made with oats, you're in for a treat that's not only delicious but also packed with health benefits. Oats are amazing – they're full of fiber, can help lower cholesterol, and are great for heart health. Talk about a power ingredient!

• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ¾ teaspoon cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon of nutmeg optional but it’s a great addition if you have it!
