banana bread is one of my favorites.
loving it, but feeling guilty for eating way more than i should when i bake it, i set out to find or create a new recipe.
must require but not limited to:
100% whole wheat flour, honey for sweetness,
and of course must taste AMAZING.
okay friends, i have it ready for you.
and i am so excited to tell you that the texture and taste have not been compromised.
yes, i promise.
my whole family ate it right up and had no idea i changed the ingredients!
it's so much healthier.
