I fixed banana bread and lattes this morning for breakfast. Ashlee took a French vanilla latte in her thermos. I also fixed hazelnut. I like both. Banana bread was my top seller in my bakery. It has a lot of bananas and less sugar than most recipes.
Since it is a top secret recipe, I can't give it out. It's the only recipe I don't give out. However, I do have another one which is very good. Enjoy!
