Banana bread is the one thing I can not go past at any café. Perfect for breakfast or a mid morning snack this bread is simple enough to whip up every other day. A great way to get rid of over ripe bananas. Also a great lunchbox snack for the kids.
This banana bread is great straight out of the oven or pop it in the toaster to freshen up the next day.
