This quick bread has so many yummy things in it – banana, apple sauce, dates, raisins, oatmeal- the list just goes on.  My friend Karen had shared a new recipe with me that she said I had to try as it was fantastic. So Saturday morning at camp I decide to give it a try and as usual I didn’t have all of the ingredients and ended up changing it up quite a bit and I have to say the result was a definite winner. Someday I will make Karen’s recipe in it’s original version ( it has different yummy things in it) but this one is going into the favourites category for breakfast.

It is very moist and will keep well for a few days, if it lasts that long!

We love banana bread, but this loaf is a spin on the same old routine.  I used a dried fruit mix that I found at Cosco that even had sunflower seeds in which gave it some crunch.  There is so much flavour in this bread that I didn’t even put peanut butter or butter on it, it doesn’t need anything extra. Some folks, like my offspring, think they don’t like dates, but they add so much to this recipe please don’t omit them – give them a chance!

I hope you try this recipe and enjoy your breakfast, one nice thick slice is all you will need! If you want to try Karen’s recipe let me know and I will see if she will share it with you!
