Healthy whole wheat Banana Bread recipe

I’ve been searching for a while for the perfect healthy banana bread out there, and couldn’t find much exactly what I was looking for… until this!!

Most of banana bread recipes out there brings too much sugar and too much flour (even 1 cup of sugar is way too much for me). I know sometimes without those two ingredients we won’t go any further, but I stayed brave in my search.

With our “breaking healthy” purpose, I needed a recipe with less sugar or even better with no sugar at all. And I found this one!

I did a little change here, another there, and came up the best healthy banana bread from scratch I’ve ever made it. YES!
