Banana Bread
The next best thing to carrot cake has to be banana bread. The first bite of this recipe was a perfect blend of vanilla, honey, and a hint of rum flavors that would fit right in. I used almond flour and coconut palm sugar to bring out a warm, rich sweetness that’s just what we crave during the long winter months. If you’re looking for a quick, simple, and satisfying bake, this banana bread is the perfect choice.

Eggs and Vanilla. Pour the vanilla extract and egg to the bowl and use the same fork to mash and stir until no yellow streaks of egg remain.
