LIFE-CHANGING, DAIRY FREE CINNAMON APPLE BANANA BREAD!

I recently took a break from Instagram. I took 10+ days off from posting because I needed a soft reset. I try to post every day and it can get exhausting!

Coming up with captions, recipes, editing photos, engaging with my audience, engaging with my friends.. it gets to be a lot!

Although I took an Instagram hiatus, I did not take a baking hiatus.

Not. Even. Close.

I can’t wait to share all the fun recipes I developed over the holidays, as well as things I reflected on and experienced. I take writing my captions very seriously. Sometimes the food is just a way to capture someone’s attention and bring them to my words.

You can read some of my favorite captions here, here and here. And you can read some of my favorite blog posts here, here and here!

Writing is therapy for me, and I plan on doing a lot more of it in 2019 🙂

OK- onto the healthy cinnamon apple banana bread!

oh, and did I mention it’s dairy-free, too?

I felt kinda bad that my last apple banana bread recipe wasn’t 100% homemade, so I was determined to make one from scratch this time around!

I’ve made sweet potato banana bread from scratch, tahini chia banana bread from scratch and if you want a good laugh, you can check out one of my first ever recipes- chocolate marble banana bread! Oh how far my photography has come. HA.

But since there’s nothing quite like some warm, cozy apple banana bread, this recipe needed to have its moment.

The only thing that might make this apple banana bread better is a THICK spread of almond butter and some coffee.

NOTE: I have only made this dairy free apple banana bread using the recipe below. If you’re vegan, you can try using flax eggs in place of the eggs. Other than that, you’re good to go!

• 1 cup whole wheat flour (this is my favorite one to bake with!)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp. of each: baking soda, baking powder, vanilla extract
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup apple sauce
• 1 cup pureed banana
• 1/2 cup pure maple syrup

For the middle layer and toppings:

• 1 cup chopped apples
• 1/2 cup coconut sugar
