If you are a regular to my website you know I’ve been making lots of these Mini Banana Breads recently. I have a Mini Chocolate Chip Banana Bread recipes and a Mini Chocolate Courgette Banana Bread version too.

I’ve had such amazing feedback on these recipes but several of you have mentioned that your child’s school has a zero chocolate policy for lunchboxes.

No problem… here’s a completely chocolate free version that kids can bring to school. Or just have as a tasty afternoon snack when they get home.

The recipe is so easy to make. Just chuck all the ingredients into a bowl and mix with a spoon.

Spray an individual brownie tin with spray oil or rub with a little butter to grease it well.

Then divide the mixture between the 12 holes.

This is the Individual Brownie Tin which I am using.

If you don’t have an individual brownie tin then a muffin tin works perfectly fine.

Bake for 20 minutes and then leave the mini banana breads to cool for a few minutes in the tin.

This will make it much easier to remove them.

Pack into lunchboxes for a healthier snack that’s much lower in sugar than store bought muffins or cake.

Or serve up with some chopped fruit and veg for a yummy and balanced afternoon snack.

STORING & FREEZING

They will keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

You can also freeze them. They will defrost quickly in the just a couple of hours so you can pop them straight into lunchboxes from the freezer and they will be ready to enjoy by lunchtime.
