Super Easy and Delicious Banana Bread

Banana bread is one of my favourite snacks to have in the house. I like to use up my over-ripe bananas and turn them into a snack that lasts for days on end. My kids love having a piece in their lunch box at school. However, I prefer a slice warmed up with a good layer of butter and a coffee for 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. I hope you enjoy it as much as my family and I do!
