Recipe: the Best Banana Bread Ever.

In this household we do a lot of sport and we eat a lot of bananas. I'm not here to list the health benefits of this wonderful natural gift but they are really a great snack before or after workouts as they are rich in potassium and magnesium and are an easily digestible source of carbohydrates. Bananas help muscles function and recover well and can also help maintain and restore an optimal level of electrolytes. It is safe to say you will always see bananas in my fruit bowl at home and in my backpack, ready to go when I need that extra boost of natural energy.

There are really only two things I do when I see those little black spots forming on banana skin indicating that if I can't eat them as soon as possible, I should do something with them, before buying greener ones.

Throwing them away is not an option. Ever.

The first option is always to make banana bread, all year round. It is such an easy and versatile recipe, which can be adapted to any season, and it doesn't take complex baking skills or too much time either. If I have no time to bake or I know I won't be home to eat it in the next days, I cut the ripe bananas in halves and freeze them. In this way I always have a bag of frozen banana halves ready to throw in smoothies for that sweet flavour and added creaminess.

Before I get lost in banana realm, you're here for the recipe of the best banana bread in the world. So you shall have it!
