Gluten free, dairy free, refined sugar free and most importantly, deeelicious.
This homemade banana bread is a great, healthier alternative to classic banana bread found in stores and in cafes.
It is gluten free, made using a combination of tiger nut flour and almond meal (you can swap almond meal for buckwheat flour if you would like to make this recipe nut free).
We recommend serving with tahini and honey or nut butter.
