Veronica's Banana Loaf Cake

Veronica came across this recipe when she was looking for creative breakfast ideas for her daughter. Since then, she's put her own spin on it by experimenting with different add-ins. With just ripe bananas, eggs and almond flour, this loaf comes together in one bowl in about ten minutes. The best part? No refined sugar needed! The bananas do all the sweetening, while almond flour keeps every slice hearty and wholesome.

Hear it from Veronica:

I found this recipe when I was trying to get creative with breakfast ideas for my daughter. It mattered to me to find options that didn't start the day with added sugar. The bonus is that we make it together and have fun doing it. So easy! It's also a great way to use up the inevitable old bananas we all seem to accumulate.
