Butter a bread pan heavily, then pour your banana mix into it.

For the topping, keep the wet banana bowl and add in Half cup of brown sugar Half cup of quick oats Drizzle of honey Mix it roughly until you have little chunks and use a spatula to scrap the mix out of the bowl and onto the loaf.

While we may not be able to come together for an evening of great food and supporting our cause, great food can still bring us together, and so we are sharing with you the favourite recipes of our team, volunteers and community partners! Over the next few weeks we will be adding to this virtual cookbook to help inspire you in your own kitchen, and we hope our A Taste at Home campaign bring you the comfort these recipes bring our contributors.
