I was honestly not expecting this recipe to turn out so incredibly delicious. I created one a while back using similar ingredients and it was good, but it wasn’t nearly this good. If you follow my Instagram, then you know most of my recipes contain minimal ingredients and for the most part are gluten-free, dairy-free, and refined sugar-free. Nothing makes me happier than recreating recipes using better and healthier ingredients, and this recipe was a definite hit in my house!
This is hands down the yummiest banana bread recipe that’s also Paleo-friendly and can easily be made vegan by subbing the eggs for flax eggs.
