Grain Free Banana Bread

By: Ashley Dew

When you are in need of an uplift or a savory treat, baking banana bread just seems to make everything better. Cheap therapy really. The challenge for me is always finding or creating a recipe that is a head turner all while maintaining my healthy lifestyle. Now there is officially no need to look any further – this recipe is the best of all worlds! It is moist, melts in your mouth and provides delicious nourishment for your body all without gluten or refined grains and sweetened with honey. Coconut flour is rich in good fiber that helps the microflora in your gut flourish.. Grass-fed butter, ghee and coconut oil are rich in good medium chain fats that improve immune function and reduce inflammation throughout the body. The end product is a nutritional delicacy.
