Whole Wheat Banana Bread Recipe
I have enjoyed baking my own banana bread for my family on the weekend as a healthier and tastier option than store-bought versions.
Banana bread is a family favourite in my home. Made with whole wheat, it is a wonderful, healthy snack, a great breakfast food, and with a few simple twists, can become a dessert after dinner. It uses up over-ripe bananas that might otherwise end up in the organics bin on the curb.
