This recipe differs from our favorite banana bread recipe, in that it includes flour, but it’s still super yummy! We prefer cooking with sprouted flour because, it’s actually nutritious! The entire composition of flour changes, when the grain is sprouted first – it’s pretty amazing! Want to read more? Think protein and tons of nutrients! We also prefer making our own pumpkin purée over using canned foods. You can learn how, in our how-to section of our blog, but it’s super easy! You probably are already aware of the dangers of BPA linings in canned foods, but no one talks about the fact that the cans are aluminum! Aluminum leaks too, lined or not, and aluminum is linked to memory disorders such as Alzheimer’s. Why add more toxins into your life!? Make a batch of purée and stick it in the fridge to use for our pumpkin bread one day, and for pumpkin pancakes the next 😊 I also love stirring it into my oatmeal, and you’ll see us post about THAT recipe on our Instagram!

We discovered this organic bourbon barrel-aged maple syrup at Costco recently, and can’t get enough of it! It’s honestly hard not to lick the bottle after you pour some out 😆😆 We are not being sponsored by them, we just really like the delicious refined-sugar-free flavor it adds to some of our favorite recipes! If you can’t get this particular syrup, don’t worry, any real maple syrup will work! Just stay away from the wannabe breakfast syrups that are full of artificial flavors, sugars and high-fructose corn syrup.

We’ll have to add a post about healthy cooking oils versus not so healthy, but for now, trust us – if you can sub avocado oil for vegetable/canola oil – you’re doing your heart a favor!
