Is there anything better than coming home to the smell of freshly baked banana bread filling the kitchen?

I first found this recipe in a Mindful Chef box. Butter bean mash wasn’t something I’d made previously, but it’s a great alternative to regular potato mash. Much healthier too. Butter beans naturally create a creamy texture when mashed down, so there’s no need to add butter or milk. Served alongside a vegetabl tomato ragu, […]
