The texture and flavor of this bread is incredible- moist interior with a crunchy top, bursting with banana flavor and cinnamon sweetness. Despite it tasting like a naughty treat, you can indulge guilt-free! No added sugar (not even honey or agave) can be found here!
Why (the science): Ripe bananas are incredibly sweet, allowing this recipe to forego any added sugar, both refined or natural. Sugar-free means guilt-free!
