Healthy and freezable big batch banana bread
28 Day Weight Loss Challenge member Dina has shared her fabulous banana bread recipe which is perfect for afternoon tea.
It makes 12 pieces so it’s great to prepare it when you have friends coming over or you want to make enough for the whole family.
It also freezes well, so you could also freeze individual slices so that you always have healthy snacks on hand.
You could also pop some in the kid’s lunchbox too as it is nut free.
