We all love a good banana muffin right? But unfortunately most muffins or fruit breads on offer to us are full of sugar making it not so healthy.
Here is an interesting fact that we bet you didn't know.
One slice of McDonalds Cafe Banana bread has a shocking 508 calories, 35grams of sugar, that's 71grams of carbohydrates and a whopping 25grams of fat! Don’t be tricked into products marketed as ‘healthy’ because clearly this is definitely not the best healthy alternative.
BUTTTTT... Lucky enough for you, you’ve found my blog and don’t have to shy away from enjoying a sneaky muffin or cake. This banana muffin recipe is the perfect option for anyone who enjoys something sweet for breakfast or snack.
