Pour mixture into a loaf tin lined with baking paper. Slice a banana in half lengthwise and place on the top of the loaf for decoration. Freeze the other half for smoothies.
Bake for 45 minutes – test doneness with a skewer or knife, bake another five minutes if required and test again.

Extra delicious when toasted in a sandwich press!
NOTES
A healthy, skin-friendly banana bread recipe is essential to every home! This take on the old favourite is of course gluten, dairy and refined sugar free with the addition of pear for more fibre. It also includes olive oil which is our oil of choice when it comes to cooking as it provides the body with healthy fats needed for healthy skin.
