Best Banana Bread
It’s moist, sweet and keeps you pretty full for a long time, so it works just as well for breakfast on its own, as a dessert with custard, or anytime snack plain or toasted.

Try your banana bread toasted with cream cheese and honey. Or just with thick slabs of butter, softly melting into each slice!
