With this past week’s sudden heat wave in San Diego, we’ve gotten a glimpse of summer on the horizon. So, we were in the mood to make something reminiscent of those sun burnt tans, county fairs, and picnics on the beach.
After doing some research, we were inspired by this delicious, healthy banana bread recipe to create something that captures those summer feels. Our bread is fresh, light, and naturally sweetened with fresh berries and a little brown sugar.
With no added white sugar or butter, you can still be guilt-free and bikini body ready for the upcoming summer months to find your bae. In fact, if your bananas are ripe enough, try omitting the coconut oil and the brown sugar.
