This brilliant recipe came to us from one of our most interactive Leaner Living friends, Amy Weschler. I was extremely excited to hear from her that she had utilized our vanilla MRP to make banana bread using almond flour, oats, and coconut oil. Banana bread is certainly one of my favorite treats, but due to its obvious caloric bomb of glycemia and lipemia, I very rarely indulge and I don’t even remember the last time I tried some, so you may understand why I was so excited to learn of her success in this experiment! We tried it out ourselves, and sure enough, it was amazing! Better yet, all the ingredients are “Leaner Living” approved and have many healthful benefits. Try it out, and give a thanks to our friend Amy!
