This dreamy moist banana loaf is best eaten warm, served with vanilla ice cream for the kids for a special treat or for you very low fat yogurt or fromage frais... if desired.

Please tell me what you thought of it. I did turned my nose up when i seen All Bran going in it, but it was very tasty with a cup of tea. I hope it comes in handy when u have bananas going out of date.
I did make this for the mums at mum and tots as they are all following slimming world eating plan.
