After that much-needed Saturday sleep in what could be better than tucking into a delicious slice of luxurious banana bread?
Teamed with the scrumptious aromas of freshly brewed coffee this has quickly become a weekend favourite of ours.
You can make things easier on yourself by whipping the bread up the night before and warming it up in the oven and best of all it freezes well so making them in batches is always a wonderful idea.
