I love desserts with little to no added sugar, so I decided to experiment with some ingredients I had on hand to create this delicious banana bread! You can enjoy this as a dessert, at breakfast or as a snack, and it’s got just enough sweetness to satisfy.

What’s great about this recipe nutritionally?

First, there is no added sugar whatsoever! If you’ve ever checked out the food label on some of those store-bought desserts, you might notice that some of these have a pretty large amount. This banana bread is naturally sweet and doesn’t contribute those empty calories that many other desserts do. For other ideas on healthy desserts, check out this post on quick easy desserts

Second, this bread is a great source of micronutrients (vitamins and minerals). Bananas provide potassium, magnesium, and vitamin B6, among others. In the coconut milk, you’ll also find a host of vitamins and minerals (although amounts of some may be small), such as iron and potassium.

Thirdly, this sweet treat is a great source of fiber, which comes from the bananas, whole wheat flour and chia seeds! Fiber is important not only for healthy weight maintenance but also for healthy digestion.

How should I choose the ingredients?
