I just realized that this is the third banana bread recipe I am sharing in less than two months. Oh well, good things must come in abundance, thats my motto here. This no sugar banana bread is a healthier take on the old classic recipe that we all love. It still maintains all the banana flavor, without the extra calories from sugar, butter or oil. The bread is packed with cashews that have been grinded to an almost flour like consistency, the cashews definitely make it more dense, the honey adds just the right amount of sweetness and actually gives the bread a stickier consistency that I love.I love making bread.
I feed good enough to feed this bread to my toddler, he happily nibbles on it in the morning as a nice change from his usual oatmeal. The juicy blueberries are bursting with flavor, and add an overall nice and pleasing color. To brightened the palette, I have whipped a grapefruit glaze that enveloped the banana bread in a sweet thin blanket, this is the only place where sugar was used, and you can totally skip it if you want to keep it completely sugar free. The citrus addition is nice and refreshing, the fragrance of it is enough to make my stomach growl in the morning.
This no sugar banana bread is the perfect grab and go snack, light and tasty desert or quick, hassle free breakfast that is just waiting for you to be enjoyed with a cup of java.
