Moist Whole Wheat Banana Bread

Do you like banana?? Yes i do...These are one of my favourite fruit and i do have this any time of the day. For me bananas are always in the shopping list, i mean its a default item. Sometimes i do forget the banana which are at the bottom of the fruit basket and have fresh ones first and the old overripe banana goes into smoothies and bread. Today its bread making time, this banana bread is moist and healthy and making it more healthier by using whole wheat flour and brown sugar. This bread is having a hint of cinnamon and topped with nutella...hmmm what else we want to make it tasty.  Banana bread can be served at breakfast along with fresh juice or at tea time along with tea or as a dessert with a scoop of ice cream with chocolate sauce on it....yummy.
