Donna Hays Buckwheat Banana Bread

I love trying out new recipe’s, some times I change them around to suit my wants or needs but sometimes they are perfect as they are and don’t get changed at all, this is one of those recipe’s, I absolutely love this banana bread. Donna Hay has thousands of amazing recipe’s, this is one that I have returned to over and over again so I think that its one you will all enjoy just as much as me. It is nice and easy to make and lovely and soft, plus buckwheat is gluten free.
