There’s nothing like banana bread. With its soft, fluffy, banana flavoured batter and it’s lightly sweetened crust, it’s hard to decide if its breakfast food, snack fare, or dessert. Naturally sweetened with maple syrup and ripened bananas, Apple Banana Bread is the perfect balance of fluffy bread and fruit flavoured sweetness.

This baked bread is truly healthy. Made without butter, margarine, or oil, it is instead packed with fruit.

There isn’t just one fruit in this bread. It is packed with fruit – three very ripe mashed bananas, apple sauce and nearly one whole chopped apple.

The extra fruit gives this banana bread a rich and moist texture that tastes like a dreamy combination of bread and cake.

Oozing with rich banana flavour and chunks of softly baked apples, you can’t help but fall in love with every bite of this healthy bread. 

When it comes to apples, Galas are just perfect. They are so perfectly sweet, they compliments the delicious banana batter. And they add a bite of texture. So, there’s delicious pops of apple throughout the soft and creamy bread.
