2 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 cup mashed very ripe bananas
3 Tbsp brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
4 Tbsp powdered buttermilk

2 1/2 cups unbleached white flour
1/3 cup steel-cut oats, soaked in 1/3 cup boiling water until the mixture is at room temp

Program machine for bread or white bread.

I usually add 3 tsp of vital wheat gluten to this recipe it improves the texture and ability of the bread to rise.
