Banana Bread (GF)

Recipes
Written By Rachael O’Donohue

This healthier version of banana bread is gluten and refined sugar free. It’s made with natural ingredients. Buckwheat flour and almond meal are used in place of traditional flour. Coconut sugar is used to sweeten. You can play around with the amount of sweetness and combination of spices to suit your liking. If you’re not that keen on butter, it can be easily substituted with a good quality oil such as macadamia, olive or coconut.
