I love banana bread, but i'm trying to eat healthy and clean as much as possible.. so this recipe has greek yogurt, oat flour, whole wheat flour, coconut oil, and agave syrup.. You could also substitute the agave syrup with honey, or your preferred sweetener. I also threw a handful of dark chocolate chips in to help satisfy my sweet tooth.
