If you love banana bread like me, you’re going to be really excited about our yummy chai tea infused banana bread. No sugar, no butter, there’s only goodness inside this comfort healthy banana bread recipe.
Instead of sugar, you’ll enjoy the natural sweetness of the homemade apple sauce, ripe bananas and honey (or syrup of choice) perfectly balanced with the aromatic spices of our chai tea. Infusing the bread with our chai, also provides the benefits of antioxidants and calming properties thanks to its unique curated formula.
As I write this, it’s pouring outside and I can’t wait to get stuck into my favourite snack as I cuddle my dog on the sofa. It’s also so yum with your morning tea or share with your little ones.
