Every time I make this I forget how good it is! It’s like banana bread, but 10 times better!

Super light and fluffy and spiced with cinnamon – delicious! My favourite part is the cream cheese icing though, YUM!

Adaptions

If you’re gluten free you can use gluten free flour. The rice malt syrup can be swapped for any other liquid sweetener like honey or maple syrup

Meal Prep

The loaf freezes really well, so you can make it in bulk for a quick and easy snack another day
