I posted this a while ago and want to reintroduce it incase you may have missed it buried in my blog. It is low-carb, high-fat which makes it a perfect treat both a low-carb and ketogenic lifestyle. I’ll talk more about alternative sweeteners in my next post but for now enjoy this sugar-free, delicious dessert.

This recipe requires just  one bowl, a few measuring cups and some basic ingredients.

I think everyone has their own definition of “healthy”. And I think my banana bread recipe is healthy for the following reasons. If you don’t eat entire loaf in a day. Natural sweetener like maple syrup or honey replaces refined sugar. Applesauce replaces almost a cup of oil. It makes banana bread moist. Whole wheat flour adds fiber, nutrients and vitamins unlike the all-purpose flour stripped of everything that’s good for us. Simple Incredibly moist Perfectly sweet Contains no sugar Ingredients 2 cups whole wheat flour
