This banana bread is suitable from 6 months, but also a firm favourite of the older members of our family too. It goes perfect warmed with a little coconut oil or almond butter on top.

I love this bread recipe. I used olive oil vs coconut oil. I also added brown sugar top the top of the batter prior to baking to add more sweetness.
That sounds so nice 🙂

Fab recipe. My son loves it. I used wholemeal spelt flour.
Love the spelt flour for the extra nutrition! So glad he likes it 🙂
Do you think subbing half the banana for sweet potato would work?
It should work, pumpkin also works well as a swap too .
This recipe is great. I made it with my 1 year old as his first baking experience and it still turned out great despite curious hands! I used vegetable oil and plain flour instead of wholemeal. It tastes delicious!
Had so much fun making this with my son! He loved it!
This is great to hear – plus cooking with little ones is always fun!
Its super quick and delicious.
So glad you liked these!
Super delicious and easy recipe we usually make once a week! We use all purpose flour and make muffins, so our toddler can have servings on the go. Looking forward to trying more kid friendly recipes 🙂
So glad to hear you enjoyed it! Love the making muffins with it!x
