Meghan Markle is busy — but it doesn't seem that she's too busy to... bake? Yes, really. The Duchess of Sussex seems to have put her jet lag to good use this week, when she showed up to visit a family farm in New South Wales, Australia, on Wednesday with a loaf of homemade banana bread in tow, according to The Daily Mail.
The duchess reportedly whipped up her baked goods on Tuesday night, following her and Prince Harry's jam-packed day full of royal engagements in Sydney, and used the kitchen of Admiralty House, the home of the Governor-General of Australia where the couple are staying while in Sydney. Rebecca English, the Daily Mail's royal correspondent, attended the Wednesday morning tea, and shared photos of Meghan's banana bread on Twitter. Though the bread does have a crack on top that might not pass muster on The Great British Baking Show, it still looks incredibly delicious. Per English, who also had the opportunity to taste the treat, Meghan mixed chocolate chips and "a bit of ginger" into the loaf, which English said turned out "rather nice" and "went down well" with the assembled crowd.

Meghan has referred to herself as a major foodie since way before she became a member of the royal family. On her now-defunct blog The Tig, she often spoke about her favorite restaurants and shared plenty of recipes of her own. Though she doesn't seem to have shared this particular banana bread on her blog, fan site Meghan's Mirror did uncover another bread recipe she once posted, for "Life-Changing Bread," a healthy, nutrient-rich loaf that includes sunflower seeds, flax seeds, chia seeds, and psyllium seed husks.
Clearly, Meghan has carried her love for food into her new life as a royal. Prior to providing well-wishers with banana bread, the duchess spent time cooking with the women of the Hubb Community Kitchen in London, and, as her first solo royal project, released a cookbook with them to raise money for the kitchen. Here's hoping her next cookbook includes this mouthwatering banana bread recipe!
