Organic Banana Peel Bread made using banana peels that would normally be thrown away! (or given to the chooks, sorry chooks!)
Organic Banana Peel Bread
The banana skins give this bread a great flavour and gummy like texture, perfect for soaking up butter when warm. It’s really low in sugar, so a great school lunchbox treat. Just make sure you use organic bananas, you can store the peels in the freezer until you are ready to bake. They go black once frozen, but that doesn’t matter at all!
I think this banana bread tastes the best toasted with butter, I freeze mine in slices and just pull a slice out when needed. It holds it’s shape in the toaster well when sliced thick.
