GF Banana Bread

I make this delicious GF banana bread recipe more than anything else. It is super easy and healthy and you can change it up and add whatever you like. Sometimes I add chopped up apples, cinnamon and nuts. Or chopped dates and coconut. Berries, rhubarb and pears are other great alternatives, though nothing beats plain banana bread fresh out of the oven with organic butter!

Significant amounts of vitamin C and B6 play a vital role in maintaining the elasticity of the skin.

A large number of antioxidants and manganese present in bananas protect the body from damages caused by free radicals, the compounds responsible for premature aging of the skin.

Given that bananas have 75 percent water, they also hydrate our skin and prevent it from drying and peeling.
