It’s easy to make Healthy Banana Bread-simply swap your oil ingredient (be that butter or vegetable oil) with coconut oil and your sugar or sweetener with honey or something like Swerve. The coconut oil also makes it miraculously lighter. If you’re in need of a low carb option- I have the most delicious and nutty recipe: Almond Flour Banana Muffins. There is something magical about combining almond flour with a banana bread recipe.
