Amber's Gluten-Free Banana Bread Recipe

Amber is one of our incredible Nutritional Health Support Team. Last year she jumped onboard the lockdown baking train and whipped up a beautiful, BePure-friendly Banana Bread recipe to share with us!

Since then, it's become one of our favourite (and most-loved) recipes. When it comes to food, our philosophy focuses on eating nutrient dense whole foods that support your health while reducing inflammation and illness—80% of the time!  

We love a baked treat as much as the next person but do our best to use high-quality flours, natural sweeteners and enjoy mindfully. This recipe is great as you can make it more indulgent adding in dark chocolate and an extra banana, or if you'd rather keep it simple, you can do that too.
