Here are my Favourite Recipes!
If you’ve been on Instagram or Twitter recently (which of course you have because what else is there to do whilst in lockdown?) you’ll probably have noticed that the whole world seems to be baking banana bread. Sound familiar?
It might be something to do with the sheer amounts of time we’ve now all been granted or, because the huge bunch of bananas we bought are now overripe and looking pretty questionable. Whatever the reason, it’s a fact that 90% of the population seem to be baking the infamous loaf.
Looking at all the attempts online spurred this post if I’m honest. I’ve made more than a handful of banana breads in my time (spoken like a true 25 year old…) and wanted to point you in the direction of them here to save you trolling through my previous recipes.
As always, my bakes and homemade creations are sometimes healthier alternatives but that doesn’t mean to say that the real thing isn’t as delicious. So whether you’re looking for a decedant loaf or a lighter verison, feast your eyes on the below and enjoy!
And if you do end up making any of these creations, please do let me know. I love seeing my recipes and creations pop-up elsewhere!
