Heart Healthy Banana Bread

Banana Bread is that comfort food that you love to enjoy with a nice cup of coffee or with some tea! Here is my Healthier Version !! I love to take recipes and modify or swap out ingredients to make them "Cleaner" -- I strive to use less processed ingredients and get to the most natural that I can while still keeping that great taste !! 




Ingredients: 
  • 1/2 cup Grass Fed Butter **
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup organic sugar or Coconut Palm Sugar
  • 1 whole egg
  • 1 cup RIPE mashed banana (more ripe the sweeter they are)
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 TBSP Flax seed
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 Tablespoon Cinnamon

** Yes I have started using butter again -- But only Grass Fed --  As it turns out, many of the fatty acids in butter can affect our physiology and biochemistry in some way, leading to major health benefits. 


Directions:
Mix all ingredients together. 

Loaf - Bake at 350 for 50 minutes 
Muffins - Bake at 350 for 25 minutes
Mini Muffins - Bake at 350 for 11 minutes
