Oatmeal Banana Bread (it's Weight Watchers!)

This recipe from Weight Watchers combines the best of healthier eating with true delicious indulgence.  Who doesn't love banana bread?  With canola oil instead of butter and mostly egg whites and just one whole egg for 10 servings, the fat in this recipe won't hurt you.  Brown sugar provides sweetness, oatmeal adds fiber, and, well, the bananas...  But enough about how bad this isn't for you, and let us focus on how much you're going to love it (especially the warm scent of banana bread wafting through your house!).
