My favourite banana loaf recipe so far . Lovely spiced moist banana bread loaf the combination of spices are a very nice touch and set this recipe apart to other banana loafs. Perfect breakfast bread bc it’s not to sweet .
I would like to try topping off the loaf with one of Ali’s wonderful healthy icing recipes to change it up .

I have been making this bread, as muffins, for YEARS (from Ali's cookbook). I often add chocolate chips. Everyone I've served them to, cannot believe how delicious this recipe is (even those folks who are used to high sugar content baked goods and diets).
When I make muffins--I use butter, and co-op muffin liners, and the recipe makes 12 dense muffins. I bake for 25 minutes. (mini-muffins--bake for 18 minutes). They are not usually around long, but I do keep them in the fridge once cooled (they are very moist and can go bad quickly in hot weather). They also freeze well--and thaw by lunchtime if I stick one in my lunch box in the morning on my way to work.
Thank you Ali! You're a genius!

I made this last night and had a piece of it this morning and it was delicious. I love how moist it is and not super sugary either which I think can happen with banana bread. Even my husband liked it and had a slice with his morning coffee. Thank you!
