Free for a limited timeSugar-Free Oat Banana Bread (No White Flour)
Banana bread is a coffee-time favourite, but the usual version packs a cup of sugar, white flour and butter. Ours uses ground oats and relies on ripe banana and dates for sweetness.
The result is a soft loaf that fills the house with aroma — breakfast or dessert.
