Vegan Blueberry Banana Bread (Nut free!)

Happy Monday! One of my favorite ways to be creative in my business is recipe development, especially when it comes to treats. I never feel deprived or restricted because I love finding ways to make my favorite treats with healthier ingredients and less sugar. It’s a reminder that we can still satisfy our cravings with foods that taste amazing and also are good for our bodies! It’s such a fun challenge for me.

A new recent challenge is making my recipes nut-free as I have many friends and clients who have nut allergies. This has forced me to diversify the ingredients that I’m putting in my recipes, which has added a whole new texture and taste in a really great way. I love that this community is always helping me to continue to learn and grow so I can better support all of you on your healthy + happy journeys 🙂 PS – This banana bread has been taste tested by all of my siblings and they loved it!
