Gluten-Free Banana Bread in 6 Steps


It's natural to be skeptic about gluten-free bread. The idea itself sounds rather oxymoronic. But, after the success I had with the chocolate coconut cupcakes, I wanted to make a healthier version of my favorite banana bread. This gluten free, and refined sugar and fat free recipe is so delicious that you do not miss the flour, or the butter. I love banana bread, and these healthy modifications allow me to have guilt free indulgence for breakfast.
