Healthy banana, oatmeal, walnut bread.

This recipe was kid and husband approved. It is super healthy.  It makes a great breakfast bread or a snack with milk.  We put coconut oil on it instead of better.  But I'm sure butter would taste good too.
1.5 c. All-Purpose Flour (I grind soft wheat in my dry container in the Vita-Mix).
1.5 c. uncooked Old Fashioned Oats ( I also grind the oatmeal to a flour).
1/2 c. packed brown sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
3 tsp coconut oil
1 large egg, beaten
2 medium egg whites, beaten
6 medium over ripe bananas
1/2 c. chopped walnuts
Preheat the oven 350 degrees and spray 1 loaf pan with cooking spray. Combine all dry ingredients including the oats and cinnamon. Mash bananas in a separate bowl, adding the oil and 1 whole egg. Mix thoroughly. Add the wet ingredients into the dry flour mixture. Mix well, forms a thick batter. With a hand mixer, beat the egg whites until medium stiff peaks form. Fold the whites into the batter in three separate additions. Fold in chopped walnuts last. Pour into prepared loaf pan and bake 45-50 mins. Allow to cool 5 minutes and then flip out onto a wire rack.
