Surprisingly this gluten free Paleo banana bread is really tasty and moist which isn’t always what you would expect from a “healthy” treat that is both gluten & sugar free.
In fact the bananas in this recipe are the only source of sugar, although it does have Xylitol (which is a natural sweetener and better for you than sugar) but you don’t necessarily have to use it.
This gluten free banana bread however, is not only perfect for those who are watching their weight, but it’s also a really tasty treat for anyone.
Furthermore, bananas are rich in potassium and fibre.
Lastly, don’t throw away those bananas that are too ripe to use as they’re perfect for making a quick loaf of this Paleo banana bread.

The great thing with this Paleo banana bread, is that being sugar-free, it’s a non-addictive treat contrary to the usual pastries and tea time snacks that you get.
These are often loaded with sugar, making them very addictive, and very difficult to stop eating them.
You’ll always feel like “just one more” with addictive snacks & treats which also contribute heavily (excuse the pun) to weight gain.
However, with this banana bread you won’t be doing much harm by having another slice with your tea…
