I would just like to declare that my momma makes the best banana bread!
As yummy as her recipe is, I recently decided to tweak it so it would qualify as a healthy banana bread recipe. It’s honestly just as delicous but has a little less sugar and sprouted wheat instead of white flour.
We are trying to eat only sprouted breads and grains in moderation. This recipe and my quinoa bread recipe are some of the healthier breads I’ve added to my repetoire.
Now onto her updated healthified recipe…
