Why I Love This Recipe
Bananas are packed with potassium and iron and are great for boosting low blood sugar and energy levels. But not all kids are mad about them. So how about disguising things like banana in baked items like muffins or banana bread? They can be baked and frozen at home and kids will love to help.
