Marie's Banana Bread

Susan's favourite after-school treat is a one-bowl wonder!

This pudding was born from Susan’s childhood memories: after-school treats of her mother’s chocolate-chip-studded banana bread, lavished with butter or dripping with honey.

Marie's recipe whips up quickly in a single bowl - perfect for after-school snacks or a mid-afternoon pick-me-up!
