Healthy Paleo Banana Bread
While traditional banana bread is often touted as a healthy breakfast/morning tea option, it is generally full of sugar with some recipes having 1-2 cups of white or brown sugar added. That means that the average piece will have around 8-10 teaspoons of added sugar!!!!
This healthy banana bread recipe can be mixed and in the oven within a matter of minutes. It is paleo friendly and is free of gluten, nuts, dairy and refined sugar.
It is perfect to slice up and store individually in the freezer and being nut free the kiddies will love having a piece in their school lunchboxes.
