Sunday Banana Bread

I love to try different styles of banana breads whether sweet or savory depending on my mood. This sweeter version has a lovely hint of coconut in the background with spices of cardamom, vanilla and cinnamon. It is really easy to make and perfect for a slow sunday with some fig jam and toasted seeds. You can alter the level of the sugar to your liking or even add a bit of honey to the mixture. I think I need to try a combination with pecan nuts and figs or even rhubarb as it is in season at the moment! Have a relaxing sunday everyone!
