CINNAMON SPICE AND EVERYTHING NICE.

Oh. My. Gosh. The cinnamon sugar swirl in this banana bread might just make it the gold standard of banana bread.

I thought the paleo banana bread with chocolate and almond butter or the whole wheat banana bread with Greek yogurt were the gold standards…

….BUT, i was wrong.

It’s cinnamon sugar swirl, my friends. It’s taking your banana bread game up QUITE a few levels.

It’s kind of like if the air fryer cinnamon rolls and banana bread had a baby and I know you’re gonna love it. If you’re interested in exploring more unique flavors, you can also check out our keto chocolate cake .
