This easy and delicious banana bread recipe is quick to make, and great for the lunchbox or afternoon tea.
Not only is banana bread insanely yummy, but if you make it yourself, it ends up being a lot healthier than the ones you find in store. Plus, there’s something much more satisfying than eating the goodies you’ve baked yourself! I’m sharing with you my new favourite go-to banana bread recipe. Enjoy it with a cuppa or serve it up to the kids for an after school snack! I hope you enjoy it as much as my family and I do!

Hi Kat
Just wondering if you are still doing the desktop calendar downloads? I haven’t seen one since December and love having that on my computer.
Thanks

Hi Margaret, I would love to help out but I don’t profess to be a nutritionist – I’m simply a mum who loves to cook. If you’re looking for a cookbook that’s both lactose and gluten free, perhaps look into this one? Best of luck! Kat x
