Macro Friendly Banana Bread

Hellooooooo! I’m back!!

I took a bit of a break after Christmas. Life gets crazy sometimes and you just gotta go with the flo… so that’s what I did.

I want to share this Banana Bread recipe I made recently. It’s really delicious.

*A couple of notes here:

*When I first made this I was out of the regular Swerve granulated sugar so I used Swerve brown sugar. It worked great!

*The second time I made it, I wanted to make a gluten free bread for a friend of mine so I substituted the flour with coconut flour and I actually liked the texture of this version better. Both are great, it just depends on your preference.
