Apple chunks in the banana bread! I’m always happy to find a recipe that actually works and doesn’t use oil or excessive amounts of refined sugar. This one had promise, so I made it two ways and it was a success both times. Either way, it’s a super easy recipe and really delicious. A great breakfast treat, and a welcome hostess gift!
