Gluten Free Banana Bread

This is the best banana bread I have ever had and I’m so excited to share it with you! The recipe comes from one of my all-time favorite bloggers, Ambitious Kitchen, who has a knack for making the most delightful baked goods using healthier ingredients.

Here’s what I love about Monique’s version:

• Gluten free: The recipe uses coconut flour instead of regular flour. Coconut has a nuttier taste that adds much more flavor and has about 6 grams of fiber for every two tablespoons. Coconut flour is also about twice as absorbent, so you only need about half a cup for the entire recipe.

• Sugar free: There is NO added sugar in the entire recipe! For sweetness, this recipe uses mashed banana and almond butter and you really can’t taste the difference.

• No butter or oil: The result is that it’s a bit more dense and cakey, but so much more flavorful! Just a few natural ingredients can go such a long way.
