Banana bread in cup

The Banana Bread is the dessert par excellence based on bananas, better if a lot very ripe. It's also a great way to recycle them when they're black and dented.
It is a plum cake very moist and fragrant that can be enriched in many ways because bananas go well with chocolate, dried fruit and jams.
We want to offer you a super simplified version of the classic banana bread, to be prepared in the milk cup, the classic mug precisely, and to cook in the microwave.

This bread turned out moist and wonderful, I love the contrast of the sweet bananas with the tart cranberries in each bite.

Roasted Strawberry Banana Bread

This banana bread is moist and delicious, made with white whole wheat flour, sweet roasted strawberries and ripe bananas, with just a smidgen of butter, so you can enjoy a slice without the guilt!

I had some bananas that were getting brown and I was really in the mood for banana bread, so I combined the two for a delicious quick bread. You can turn these into muffins if you prefer. In the past I attempted this recipe, but the strawberries released too much liquid which made the bread a little too moist. Roasting the strawberries is the perfect solution, most of the liquid dries out from roasting so you get the flavor of the strawberries in every bite.
