Here is my vegan, gluten-free and refined sugar free recipe for banana bread. I have always loved banana bread and lockdown gave me the chance to experiment with different versions of it and with different flours. This version has been one of my favourite ones. You can always substitute the gluten -free flour with whole wheat flour; that will bring a different flavour albeit still amazing.
