The other week we were lucky enough to score lots of super ripe bananas. I used lots of the bananas with my homemade tahini in my daily smoothies to deal with my hormonal imbalance. However I still had lots left over and decided to make a healthier banana bread enriched with the goodness of chia seeds and coconut flour.
Usually I am not a big fan of the consistency of baked goods made with coconut flour because a lot of them can end up quite heavy. This banana bread is absolutely amazing and still tastes light. So if you are after a healthier banana bread, make sure to give this recipe a go.
