What to do when the bananas go brown

~ by Robyn

Banana bread has been a favourite of mine since childhood, and as a person who hates waste, an essential recipe to have at my disposal when the bananas in the fruit bowl start looking rather unappetising. After years of searching and testing many banana bread recipes I finally came up with one that makes the perfect loaf. There is something about being able to perfect such an iconic dish that is akin to “coming of age”!

You can make 12 medium-sized muffins with it or a small to medium loaf.
