It's raining outside and you feel like something warm and comforting to eat, but you want it to be healthy then you can't go past my banana, apple and cinnamon loaf. A much healthier alternative to banana bread you can buy, it's high in fibre which helps you keep feeling full and satisfied until your next meal. Eat it an hour before working out to give you lots of good energy. It's easy to make even if you don't normally bake so give it a go. Yummy toasted or as a snack cold.
