Gluten Free Banana Bread
A moist and healthy banana bread recipe
A banana bread that is good for you? Yes it is possible. I love banana bread, the cafe type that is super moist and let's face it full of calories and fat. I am always on the look out for "healthy" versions to treat myself with. This recipe features LSA, a seed and nut mix that is very good for you and gives the cake a slightly nutty flavor. It freezes well and is perfect for kids snacks and picnics. Update: Made this today with some added chopped walnuts - great addition
