My banana bread alteration

I got my original banana bread recipe off of the Better Homes and Gardens cookbook. Over time, I made a few small changes, so I thought I'd list them down! I've got a loaf of it in the oven right now. It's good stuff!
The majority of this recipe can be credited to BHG cookbook, but a few changes are mine!

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup oatmeal (I use Quaker quick oats)
1/4 baking soda
1/4 ground cinnamon (I just dump to taste, and sometimes I add a lil nutmeg or ginger)
1 egg
3 medium bananas (The riper, the better)
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup cooking oil (I use canola)

Grease the bottom and sides of a loaf pan and set aside. Set the oven to 375F. (The recipe says 350F, but my oven runs just a touch cool.) Combine flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Make a well in the center of the mixture and set aside.

In another bowl put in the bananas (peeled, of course) and the sugar. Mash with a fork until it's all combined. I do this in this order for two reasons. I'm going to want the 1/4 cup measure for the oil as well, and it's a pain to use it for sugar after using it for oil. Also, sugar somehow makes bananas easier to mash. It breaks something down, I think.

Add egg, oil, and a capful of vanilla extract to the bananas/sugar and mash/mix it all up good.

Add wet mixture all at once to the dry mixture and stir just until moistened. The batter should be a bit lumpy.

Spoon batter into the loaf pan and bake for an hour. Insert a toothpick (I use a butter knife) and if it comes out clean, the bread's done. Remove, let sit for about 10 minutes, dump it out upside-down on a wire rack, and let it cool further.

So what's the difference? Instead of using 1 1/2 cups of flour, I use 1 cup flour and 1/2 cup oatmeal. BHG adds 1 teaspoon shredded lemon peel and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans as optional. I don't like nuts and rarely have lemon peel, so I substitute a capful of vanilla extract and forget the nuts. BHG says specifically 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, but I just add some cinnamon and sometimes either nutmeg or ginger depending on my mood, keeping in mind that this is the spice and doesn't have much bearing on the constitution of the bread.
