It does not mean I did not bake during these days! Of course not! What is better than a this simple healthy banana bread recipe to get back on your feet ? Obviously I did not had the energy to spent hours in the kitchen baking,  so I did a really simple banana bread recipe using the ingredients I had on hands.

You know what I love about this simple healthy banana bread recipe ? it is super easy to make. You just have to pour all the ingredient into your food processor than bake it and it is done! Well, if you don’t have a food processor, you can also mix the dry ingredients in one bowl, the wet ingredients into another bowl and then combine wet to dry. Whatever the technique you use this banana bread recipe is ready in less than 15 minutes.

My secret to transform this simple healthy banana bread recipe into a fancy banana bread? Add a full banana on top of your bread. It will create a compote like texture on top of the bread, adding extra sweetness and moisture. Absolutely mind blowing  !

The recipe is already sweet but I really appreciated the extra sweetness on the top of each slice. Other optionnal twist to this simple healthy banana bread recipe is to add ground cinnamon and chopped walnuts. It will bring this simple banana bread to the next level.
