Natalie’s Sugar Free Almond Meal Banana Bread

It can be tricky to find sugar free baking recipes that leave mums feeling good about what’s going in lunchboxes, while still being tasty enough to have the kids coming back for more. Luckily this week our favourite holistic nutritionist Natalie Brady has got you covered with this super easy and quick banana bread recipe.

This banana bread is naturally sweetened with wholefoods and has the added benefits of being dairy and gluten free. Add dark choc chips or top a slice off with almond butter if you’re looking for just a little extra sweetness.

From Natalie …

Banana bread is always a popular recipe in our home, and this sugar free almond meal banana bread is no different! Since having kids I’ve been trying to come up with new recipes that are sugar free and only naturally sweetened with wholefoods. Sugar has such a negative impact on our health, especially our gut microbiome and blood sugar balance. This banana bread is a super easy and quick recipe to make, it’s a great recipe to add into kids lunchboxes or enjoy it for yourself as a healthy snack (my recommendation is to top if off with some almond butter or regular butter for extra yumminess).
