Happy Saturday! Got any leftover avocados after Cinco de Mayo and over guacamole? I gotchu: give this nutty banana avocado bread recipe a try!
You know what's awesome?ย No sugar or dairy here! The avocado replaces the butter and I used Swerve granulated sugar substitute in place of regular sugar. To be clear, this is notย a sponsored post, I just LOVE Swerve. Tastes like sugar, bakes like sugar, measures like sugar, it's easy on the digestive system, and absolutely no calories. It's even diabetes friendly!
Other than that, this recipe bakes up just like your standard banana bread. Easy peez and super delicious. Add chocolate chips for a little bite of dessert! Recipe below ๐๐ป.
