Sugar-Free Blueberry Banana Bread

My Italian family has been making banana breads for generations. The recipe has been passed down from my great grandmother, grandmother, mother and to me. I have loved every piece of those yummy delicious breads, but I can’t continue to make them as they are. I just can’t use moderation when it comes to eating refined sugar and flours.

I have finally found a way to make it healthier, white flour and refined sugar- free and I’m pretty happy with the results. Of course my hubby is so accustomed to the traditional, unhealthy but decadent bread that he’ll never be happy with the results. My kids on the other hand still love it just the same and so do I. I mean who can fault a banana bread with no oil, no sugar and it seriously has one gram of fat!!! I think its fabulous and I hope you will too! Adding a nice, healthy smoothie with that yummy bread would be even more wonderful!

Happy, Healthy baking to you!
