Healthy every day treat!

I have such a sweet tooth and enjoy to treat myself to something sweet everyday but being health conscious I cannot just eat anything I please but when I found this recipe for banana bread I fell in love, its sweet but not too sweet, moist and absolutely delicious! It will satisfy anyone's sweet tooth and is an ideal everyday treat.
