Banana bread is, strictly speaking, more of a loaf-shaped cake, but, whatever you call it, the taste doesn’t lie. It’s utterly delicious, and the natural sweetness of the ripe fruit lends itself perfectly to baking. While it may not be exactly a health food, it is at least surely better for the heart than Elvis’ favourite fried banana and peanut butter sandwich.
