preparation
1. Mix the whole wheat flour, bicarbonate of soda and salt in a large bowl. Add the walnuts.
2. Cream the butter and the brown sugar until fluffy in a separate bowl.
3. To this butter-sugar mixture, add the eggs, mashed bananas, buttermilk, vanilla extract and mix well.
4. Fold everything into the flour prepared in the Step 1.
5. Grease a 20cm x 12.5 cm loaf tin (or a cake tin) and coat it thoroughly with the rolled oats.
6. Pour the flour mixture into this tin.
7. Preheat the oven to 180°C and bake the bread for about an hour or until it turns golden brown and the toothpick comes out clean when inserted.
8. Allow it to cool for about 10-15 minutes and serve warm or cold, though I personally prefer a warm one.
Cooks' note:
1. Since it's very rich in taste, it doesn't need any jam or spreads. An ideal loaf for picnics or a vacation. Just bake a loaf and carry it for the next morning's breakfast anywhere you go.2. Stays good for 3 days in an air-tight container.
3. A very good use for leftover, very ripe bananas.
