Whole Wheat Oatmeal Banana Nut Bread

Mmmm, just finished baking Whole Wheat Oatmeal Banana Walnut Bread! My breads tend to not be as sweet since I normally cut out some of the sugar and try to maintain the integrity of the banana's sweetness. Some people like the banana breads sweeter so I also made a Maple Cinnamon Glaze as an "optional" topping. You can also cut out the butter or oil fat by using applesauce instead of butter and add flax seed or ground flax seed meal to the batter for extra fiber. If anyone is allergic to nuts, just omit the nuts or add chocolate chips or raisins for that extra bite.

- 1/2 cup butter (you can substitute applesauce here)
-3/4 cup brown sugar
-1 large egg
-1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
-1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup oatmeal
-1 tablespoon flax seed
-1 teaspoon baking soda
-1/2 teaspoon salt
-(2 large or 3 small) mashed bananas
- 1/4 cup milk or plain yogurt
- 1 cup chopped walnuts

Bake in a 9x3 bread pan in a 350-degree oven for 50-55 minutes.
