Classic Banana Bread

When life gives you bananas, make Banana Bread!😊

What do you do with over-ripe fruits that are past their prime state? My stomach twitches in pain to throw it away. So, I try and do quick fixes and add them to my baked goodies. Not only do they taste great but also a great way to cut down on artificial sweeteners. Today I share with you my recipe for a Classic Banana Bread.

This recipe has all the hallmarks of classic banana bread—it’s decadently fluffy and moist. When it comes to this, the browner the bananas, the better.  It is my perfect healthy banana bread recipe! This recipe is so super easy that I could bake this in my sleep and would still turn out perfect every time. I have made this recipe a countless number of times and it’s my healthier alternative for a cake to go with my evening tea. *I completely omit the honey or sugar depending on how sweet and overripe the bananas are. This recipe is so versatile – you can easily tweak it to make it your own by adding nuts, spices, chocolate chips to it. Great recipe and a must try for novice bakers.
