The New Year has officially begun, and you guessed it: I'm looking for healthy recipes to try. Naturally, however, they simply must taste good enough to make me come back for more – and after putting Joanna Gaines' banana bread to the test, I think it checks every box.
Officially named 'after-school banana bread', it seems like this particular recipe was developed to sneak a few extra nutrients into hungry kids' meal routines, but I've certainly been benefitting, too. I first spotted it during an episode of Joanna Gaines' new cooking show, and my interest was piqued: packed with no fewer than 5 bananas, it curbs my cravings for a sweet treat without inducing a huge sugar rush.
