1st June 2020

It’s the coldest first day of winter in Melbourne in 77 years according to the weatherman. Yes, we have winter in June. So we live on cozy knitted socks and a hot cup of tea while on the other side of the world, people are basking under the sun as summer season commences. We have decided to share our go to recipe for an easy moist banana bread that you can whip up anytime. We have heaps of bananas in the kitchen counter as our kids love them. For this recipe, we recommend using overly ripe bananas for a sweeter flavor and moister texture. You can enjoy it with a hot cup of afternoon tea or simply an easy breakfast on the go.
