Recipe – Power Nut Bread
This recipe is a variation of banana bread, another great option to fill and fuel up your hungry athletes. Depending on how well your pantry is stocked and your preferences you can change the type of nuts and sweeteners to your favourites. I have substituted the natvia with honey and the nuts with cashews, peanuts and sunflower seed.
Ingredients:
· 1 ¼ cups of oats
· 1 cup flour (sifted)
