We love a good muffin or slice of a savory bread loaf for breakfast. What we don’t love so much is all the fat and sugar that these tasty treats can have if we buy them prepackaged. Making your own versions not only helps to make them healthier, but it’s a really fun project that can involve the whole family AND it fills your home with wonderful scents of freshly baked goods.
This recipe for nutty banana bread is a perfect way to get your fix of baked goods while also having plenty of healthy benefits like good fats, fiber and potassium. Gather the ingredients for this recipe, then involve everyone in the baking process this weekend!
