Grain-Free Banana Bread

I am excited once again to be a part of this fabulous charity digital cookbook called “From Scratch”.

 

Each of the 49 delicious gluten and dairy-free recipes was created by talented alumni of my alma mater The Academy of Culinary Nutrition.

 

The book itself is beautifully photographed and includes numerous nutrition tips, paleo and vegan options, and pay-what-you-can pricing to support the Thrive charity. Thrive supports African communities to move from reliance on food aid to conditions of self-sufficiency – even into surplus. They do this by equipping small-scale farmers with the resources and knowledge to farm organically and productively.

 

This recipe is one of the delicious ones included. And I have one of my own featured as well (so exciting!!).

 

I encourage you to pick up your copy here.
