Actual Healthy Banana Bread
I’ve been banging on for years that most banana bread recipes or banana bread you buy in cafes are not healthy at all! Most recipes use less healthy ingredients such as butter, refined sugar and vegetable oil. This recipe is actually HEALTHY and uses ingredients that are much better for you. It's also simple and takes no time at all to make. Perfect for a snack, after dinner delight or school lunchbox option (you can use 2 1/2 cups of plain flour and omit the almond meal if your school is nut free).
