Banana chocolate chip oatmeal bread with strawberry coconut filling...
Mmmm... modified the recipe below a little and changed the milk to 1/4c skim and 1/4c soy yogurt to get less fat and more protein in...took away all sugar. Also took away the blueberries and put a middle layer of strawberries, shredded coconut, ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg. Good stuff. Oh, and used semisweet chocolate chips instead of the white.
Getting to be a healthy convenient breakfast...yay!
