  These muffins have been a favourite of mine for years now. I try to make them weekly when strawberries are in season – they are so good!

  They’re healthy (around 100 calories each, depending on the size), delicious and super easy to make.

  Delicious! I must warn you though, it’s hard to eat just one, so make plenty!

• Banana Bread Recipe

  9 Comments

  

  Whenever we have ripe bananas in our house, we either freeze them for fruit drinks, or make them into this delicious banana bread.

  This bread is good for breakfast (with some fruit) or on it’s own. I like to be bad and smother butter all over mine, but it’s also good without the butter.

  I used chocolate chips for the recipe when I took this photo, but you can easily just omit those if you want.
