Wow, this recipe turned out amazing. The hubby gave it a 10! The girls loved it too.
Its not dry at all (thanks banana), and the almond gives it a great touch and makes it much different than a traditional banana bread.
I had 2 squares for snacks a couple days in a row. It was even great to have on the side with my morning eggs & coffee…yum!
