Need a quick hostess gift for a Christmas Party? Well this banana bread is not only delicious but it is easy and dare I say nutritious too – it has banana in it and you can add grated carrot or apple too, which I highly recommend! The recipe is yours to keep but if you’d like the labels, you can purchase them online in my SunshineParties Etsy shop here – you just need an Etsy account (free to open) and a PayPal account (also free to open – you just need a credit card).
