Let’s have a quick chat about banana bread. It’s an Aussie cafe staple and one of my ultimate comfort foods when I’m craving a sweet taste of home. There are many lovely recipes for this but I needed one that was not only moist, fluffy and not-too-sweet but also no-fuss.
This recipe was inspired by Donna Hay and MrsDplus3 but adjusted a bit for my germanised palate (= less sugar).
