Whole wheat Choco-Almond Banana bread with sugar glaze.

Posted on by afroz261

I love banana and i have confession to make… I purposely buy excess banana so I have excuse to make banana bread or muffins. The aroma of freshly baked banana bread is just divine. And frankly I see no one complaining at my place.

Don’t you all occasionally have couple of over ripe banana lying on kitchen counter,but why throw in your bin, here i give you most effective way to use it. Why throw when you can make amazing moist banana bread with endless variations. You add add nuts, berries, chocolate chips or add cheesecake batter to take it to next level.

So go ahead make a banana bread that is just prefect accompaniment  for you evening cuppa or it is most desirable snack  for your kid’s lunch box.

Over ripe banana have their natural sweetness which can be utilized as substitute for sugar, so you don’t get the sugar rush. I use honey in my recipe, it doesn’t just add to sweetness and flavor but also keep the bread moist. I don’t need to tell you how healthy it is to use whole wheat flour instead of All purpose flour.

You can also freeze the loaf and use it later, and it would taste just as amazing as the day it was baked.
