I tested this recipe out four times before it was absolutely perfect! Dare I say it’s better than any other I’ve tried..!? Yes, you MUST make this.
I’ve eaten so much banana bread lately trying to get this right and I can confidently say… this is the BEST. Especially when enjoyed warm! I love adding the extra banana on top too, it almost reminds me of bananas foster the way that it cooks on top.

I love to take a slice and place it in a bowl and microwave it for about 20-30 seconds and eat it with a spoon… but that’s just me π You can also spread some nut butter or nutella on your slice!
