101RECIPES: Coffee Banana Bread

So much taste and energy to eat in slices

Banana bread has American origins, but once it landed in Italy it passed through 101CAFFE’ and a simpler and more delicious recipe was born. You prepare it in 10 minutes: the oven will do the rest.

Are you ready?

If you want to offer it to children, just replace coffee with barley (you hit gold for their snack!)
