healthy banana bread

Banana bread was the big trend of 2020, but we are bringing it back for 2021 with this healthy banana bread! It’s very easy to make and is also gluten free!

When I say this banana bread is healthy, I mean it. Instead of normal flour we are using oat flour (blended oats) which is high in fiber. Then, instead of sugar I used TruEat’s Premium Sweetener, which has 0 grams of sugar and tastes incredible in this banana bread! It is perfect if you are diabetic or just trying to watch your sugar intake.

However, if you don’t have TruEat’s sweetener, you can use any type of sugar you want. You could use coconut sugar, brown sugar, white sugar, whatever you want. Brown sugar would match great with the flavors in this banana bread, but choose whatever works best for you!

If you are a banana bread lover, you also have to check out my banana bread donuts with brown butter glaze!
