Welcome, summer!

Here’s a nice, easy recipe that makes a delicious and pretty healthy treat when paired with summertime berries like strawberries.

I used what was on hand, but you can easily make this vegan or gluten-free by substituting some of the ingredients!

Hope you enjoy 🙂

No-Sugar-Added Chocolate Banana Bread

• 3 ripe bananas, mashed

Steps

1. Preheat oven to 350F.
2. Whisk together the stevia blend and the butter until well mixed.
3. Add in the bananas, yogurt, egg, and vanilla. With a hand mixer, beat until creamy.
4. In a separate bowl, sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
