- Remove from oven, allow to cool, slice & enjoy!
Notes
Notes: The bread will taste better after a few days and is delicious popped into the toaster and topped with nut butter, and some more sliced bananas. Drizzle with honey to make even more decadent!
Variations: Try adding chia seeds, chopped nuts, or sugar free chocolate chips (I like Lily’s brand).
