Apple Banana Bread

August 12, 2016

Quick breads are always one of my favorite breads to serve the kids. While a loaf disappears in under an hour it makes a great snack and even sweet treat for them. Not only does it keep them satisfied there’s so many different flavor combinations and varieties of quick bread you really have an limitless bread. The other great thing about most quick breads is , as easy as they are to make you can make several loaves at once when you have an overload of the main ingredient, say apples, banana’s or zucchini. The quick breads can be frozen after they completely cool and you’ll always have a back up when you need it! bananabread

Adding apples to the classic banana bread adds a little extra flavor and with less sugar you can fully enjoy this treat whenever you want, whether a quick morning pick me up or an after school snack for the kids. You can chop the apples in small cubes, but I find shredding it works better most times.
