Hello all, Today’s recipe is banana bread! I bought bananas during my grocery shopping last weekend. I haven’t had few of those bananas, as a result, they completely ripened with their skin turning black. I didn’t have the heart to throw them in trash. What to do then, bake a bread! Black skin bananas are perfect for banana bread and when it is made without sugar, it is healthy too. Now baking is fun and healthy too
This banana bread is made up of whole wheat and sweetened with Maple syrup. You can substitute honey too. You can mix up nuts, raisins, and choco chips and make this bread a more delicious and a healthier one.
