Wholesome Banana Nut Bread Review!!

WHOLESOME BANANA NUT BREAD
from Eat What You Love


*****This bread is amazing while it is low in fat, calories and sugar.  It's hard not to


cover this with melted butter before I eat it. (Well, maybe a little) :)

(Marlene says," It may surprise you, but enjoying a delicious piece of banana bread will raise your blood sugar less than eating a banana, it's the added combo of healthy fiber and fat -but no added sugar- that does the trick).
