'Tis the season for banana bread! 🍌🍞 This is a Fall staple - and normally it's FULL of butter and sugar (the good stuff, I know!), but I've got a recipe for you today so you can enjoy this delicious treat AND stick to your nutrition plan. You'll use vanilla, maple syrup, and cinnamon to still hit your sweet tooth. 😋 Plus, I don't normally try to stick to gluten-free recipes, but this one simply is gluten-free for any of you who need that! Now go tell me in the comments what you spread on your banana bread! 👇 Butter? Cream cheese? Peanut butter? 😉While all those options are going to add some calories, and maybe a container to your Portion Fix count, I still want to know your go-to!
