If you’re looking to minimize guilt and maximize enjoyment, this recipe is for you! This gluten free take on banana bread is made with wholesome ingredients like ground almonds, olive oil, and chopped pecans, and uses brown sugar in place of refined sugar. According to Natasha’s notes, you can also completely leave out the sugar in this recipe and enjoy it with some nut butter for a healthy breakfast.
