Anne says “I thought everyone was bored of banana bread recipes but it seems not. It’s my go to and can be adapted to suit your mood/what you have to hand. Sub dates, walnuts, dried apricots, almonds etc for the sultanas, walnuts and chocolate chips if you like. The yogurt makes it extra moist and yummy”
