This bread is bananas
My son has FPIES so I'm always looking for good recipes that have minimal substitutions. This one is delicious in my Vitamix. I use coconut oil for butter and Sorghum flour rather than All Purpose. My toddler loves it and so do I!

Best ever banana bread
This bread was great toasted for breakfast. I used Swerve instead of sugar. Very easy to make with excellent results. I loved that it is not as cloyingly sweet as some quick breads. The whole wheat also makes it more filling for a longer time than AP Flour would.

Not my fave
Honestly, this is just an average bread. I’m not a fan of the banana with lemon flavor. I would have much rather had cinnamon in the recipe. The consistency was a little bit dry and mixing the bananas in the Vitamix prevented the little black banana residues in the baked bread which I think one of my favorite things about bread or any baked item with bananas as an ingredient.
