I had a lot of bananas hanging around yesterday, from a long, busy, smoothieless week prior, and they needed to be used before they over ripened. Hence this banana bread, which is so moist and delicious, it’s as much a dessert as it is a wholesome breakfast.
This bread has no added sugar, but relies on the ripe bananas for its sweetness. It’s also gluten free.
Here you go!
