earl grey banana bread, healthy
Tip: If you like your bread to have a delicate, uniform crumb, use a food processor or egg beaters to process the banana into a smooth puree. If you mash the bananas with a fork, leaving them slightly chunky – you'll end up with small pockets of intense banana flavor throughout the bread. The choice is yours.
