This choco chunk cashew butter swirl banana bread is MY CHILD. MY BABY. The most beautiful thing I’ve created in the kale kitchen as of late.

It took ONE recipe trial.

ONE !!

I think the kale kitchen gods are throwing me a bone because another recipe I’ve been working on ( blueb muffins ) needed 3 trials.

I’ve been baking up a STORM because I’m testing out a magical, new flour.

DRUM ROLL PLS… 

This flour is called “TIGER NUT FLOUR”

Tiger nut flour is RICH in:

• FIBER for digestive health and reducing bad cholesterol
• IRON for energy
• VITAMIN E for antioxidant power

Tiger nut flour is the key ingredient to making this BFY banana bread.

AHTK banana bread contains:

• 🍞 23% FEWER CARBS
• 💩 >5x MORE FIBER
• 💪🏼 1.5x MORE PROTEIN
