Sticky Ginger And Cinnamon Banana Loaf

This ain’t no standard banana bread, guys!! This is a mix between a spongy cake and a gooey crisp topped spiced sticky-like brownie.. the sweetness of the caramelised banana with the spicy ginger and cinnamon combine perfectly like the warmest hug ever 🤗 .

The perfect accompaniment to my late morning cuppa.. (my Parsi chai, heat the mug with hot water, tip out, add new boiling water with a teabag, some fresh mint and some lemongrass (leeli-chai) leaves, brew 5 mins, remove and add a tiny splash of milk).. now ready to curl up on the sofa and indulge!!!
