Shilpa Shetty baked banana bread with almond flour and no refined sugar. (Source: theshilpashetty/Instagram)Banana bread emerged as a winner among several other food trends amid the coronavirus pandemic. And many of us have also tried baking it at home. But if you are worried about indulging in too much sugar and gluten, Shilpa Shetty’s guilt-free banana bread recipe can come to the rescue. That is because she showed us how to make it without any all-purpose flour or refined sugar.
The actor recently baked son Viaan’s favourite banana bread with walnuts and shared the recipe video on Instagram. The mother wrote alongside the video, “Viaan’s favourite Banana Bread with walnuts is an amazingly healthy cake, which is free from any kind of refined sugar or flour. If you’re a complete vegetarian like me, you can even replace the eggs with 1 tbsp of flaxseed powder mixed with 3 tbsp of water acting as one egg replacement. This cake is high in fibre, keeps the kids full, and keeps processed foods at bay.”
Besides, this banana bread is super easy and can be whipped in very less time. Check it out:
