banana bread – perfect to freeze for lunchboxes

When I posted a picture of this banana bread on social media this weekend I received a bonkers amount of comments. Loads of you sent me recipes for your favourite banana bread recipes. It seems I’m not the only one who is on a quest to find The One when it comes to banana bread. I’ve spent years trying a new recipe every time the bananas in my fruit bowl start to get beyond the stage anyone will eat them. 

This recipe isn’t just a winner in terms of flavour, it uses minimal equipment and is easy enough for children to make with very little help.

Homemade banana bread is always better than shop bought

Banana bread is one of those things that sounds really healthy. I’ve tried all sorts of lower sugar, lower fat recipes but this is so much better. And as far as I see it (and I hope you do too), a homemade cake is healthier than a supermarket gluten-free or low fat cake. Some recipes massively cut the sugar and use all sorts of things to make the cakes low fat, low sugar or gluten free, but this is more traditional, simple and delicious. And I’ve come to a stage where I’d rather have a slice of this once or twice a week than a slice of one of the uber healthy ones each day.
