Healthy Banana Bread | Eggless | WholeWheat |Finger Food

Banana is an extremely versatile and super nutrient rich ingredient for kids . From infants to teenagers, it is part of every child’s daily diet. It is an excellent way to introduce healthy calories to your child’s meals and help him gain adequate weight.

Whenever I have Bananas in surplus, I always make sure to bake a healthy wholesome banana bread for my family. Not just a great snack/ sweet breakfast option , it is a tea time favourite as well.

For Toddlers being taught self feeding , banana bread is an excellent choice.

Here is a healthy eggless recipe of the banana bread /cake with wholewheat flour by my online baking guru Anuja Sule.
