Healthy Banana Bread recipe

This is so delicious that I have to share it with the world! The recipe is inspired and adapted from a recipe found in my cacao facilitator training provided by Myriam Aram.

It's heavenly! I use a little bit of ceremonial cacao (in this case I used Keith's cacao because it is the one I tend to use and resonate more with, but feel free to swap ceremonial cacao for just pure cacao powder or raw ecological cacao paste.

This recipe is lactose and gluten-free!

I hope you enjoy this guilty-free pleasurable breaky!
