I LOVE banana bread but not all the refined flour and sugar that it is typically made with so I found a healthier version at Chocolate Covered Katie. I adapted it slightly to the one I posted below. Kudos to Katie for a fantastic recipe!

This, of course, does not taste exactly like banana bread it has a delicious banana flavor and wonderful texture. Enjoy this healthy alternative! 

Watch my video above to see how I make this. I include a tip about freezing ripe bananas!
