HEALTHY CHOCOLATE BANANA BREAD with pecans
- VERSIΓN EN ESPAΓOL AL FINAL DE LA PΓGINA -
Hello! Bringing you an easy and nourishing recipe!
Healthy chocolate banana bread with pecan nuts! A delicious gluten free, refined sugar free and dairy free loaf with a mix of banana and chocolate flavor.
I love to bake with bananas! Itβs a great ingredient to use on healthy baking as a sweetener. Do you use them often? It also gives moisture to the cake, loaf or muffins you may bake!
Every time I make healthy banana bread I slice it and freeze it, this way anytime I want a slice of something sweet I unfreeze a slice of this delicious healthy chocolate banana bread!
DIABETIC DIET TIPο»Ώ
Remember those moments when your blood sugar is starting to go down around 80-90 mg/dL or so and you need a bit of sugar? A piece of this banana loaf would work perfect!
By eating a slice of this treat you will nourish your body instead of drinking a bottled orange juice, sugary soda or white sugar packed with refined sugars and empty calories!!
* Note: the information above is suggested when dealing with 80-90 mg/dL blood sugar, not a low sugar condition below 70mg/dL.
