Katherine's FreeFrom Banana Bread

Gluten, lactose, milk, nightshade, peanut, sesame, soya & wheat free

Although it takes a while to cook, this loaf takes no time and little effort to make. It is really versatile – eat on it’s own, with jam, toasted or add choc chips and a little more sugar to make it more of a cake. Replace the walnuts and raisins if you fancy something else.
