Healthy Banana Bread

Wholesome Lee
Nothing better than the scent of sweet roasted banana bread and cinnamon.
One of my absolute favourite recipes, for that light & fluffy sweet banana bread. With hints of cinnamon. I love to have these as a great quick breakfast OTG option, or as a filling snack with some tea!
Best served nice and toasted with a smear of almond butter( if you're feeling fancy) or enjoy as is!

CLASSIC BANANA

  • recipe as is!

LEMON LOAF

  • Add the rind of 2 lemons

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 180 degrees celsius. In a high speed blender, blend the bananas until well blended and forms a liquid (if you don't have a blender you can mash the bananas with a fork until finely mashed).
  • Place all ingredients in a mixing bowl and combine well with a spoon. Add extra ingredients for flavour of choice or keep it as is if you're looking for a classic banana bread.
  • Grease a loaf tin (or mini loaf tins) with some non-stick spray or some parchment paper.
  • Place batter into prepared pan. If you're using a loaf tin, bake for 30-35 mins or until a toothpick comes out clear. If using a mini loaf pan, bake for roughly 10-15 mins, until golden brown and tooth pick comes out clear.
  • Let it cool completely and refrigerate in covered container overnight ( It gets sweeter the next day).

Notes

If wanting to freeze, store in an airtight container and can be frozen up to around a month.
