GF Vegan Banana Bread

Super moist and fluffy!

Banana bread is no doubt a crowd pleaser, and especially one that is gluten free and vegan...


This recipe is a super easy version of the classic banana bread, containing none of the nasties.

It can be sweetened with your choice of sweetener, but we went with monk fruit to keep it lower GI.

 

Need a way to use up those ripe bananas you may have laying around?

It's no secret that bananas are great for baking, but did you know banana actually contains high levels of magnesium?

Other ingredients in this recipe containing magnesium are almond milk and pepitas (pumpkin seeds). We sprinkled the pepitas on top of the banana bread before placing it in the oven to cook. This gives the pepitas a nice toasted flavour.

 

One large banana averages 37 mg, or 9% of the RDI for Magnesium
