I'm so happy it is kiwi season, and I am adding them to my favorite thing, banana bread. Kiwi banana bread is so delicious! I love the sweetness of the banana bread, and it goes perfectly well with the tart kiwi. I also love those crunchy little black seeds! It is almost like having poppy seeds in your banana bread. It adds great texture.
For this kiwi banana bread recipe, I didn't use any added yeast, added sugar, nor butter. I used banana as natural sugar. The more ripen the banana is, the sweeter the bread will be. If you are trying to avoid sugar, go for the greener banana. If you love sweets, go for the brown banana. And as of butter, I used avocado oil as a substitute. Butter contains saturated and trans fats, both of which may increase the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, or bad cholesterol, in a person's blood.
