GF and DF Banana Bread

When I decided to do my elimination diet 8 years ago, I knew that I needed to be prepared with a lot of good recipes. I had read several articles and blogs about people not making it even 30 days because they didn’t prepare themselves and their kitchens. One of my favorite recipes I found, and a favorite of many others as well, is my banana bread. I have tweaked it over the years, and decided to share my newest and best recipe yet!

If you aren’t dairy free, you can use melted grass-fed butter instead of coconut oil. You can also add in gluten free dairy free chocolate chips. I like the Enjoy Life brand. I also like to make this as a regular loaf, mini loaves, or in my Babycakes mini muffin maker. If you try the recipe, let me know what you think!

Hello!

 Hello! I just wanted to introduce myself, for those who don’t know me. My name is Nikki, and I am a Certified Holistic Nutritionist and yoga instructor. I am finishing my Bachelor’s in Holistic Nutrition at American College of Healthcare Sciences, and will be completing my Masters there as well. I have 2 nieces and 2 nephews whom I adore. And I am a self proclaimed crazy cat lady! I have 2 senior kitties. JJ is 14 and Minnie is 10.

About 20 years ago I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease called Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, and started taking medication to help my thyroid work better. Yet I still had some vague symptoms, which my doctor said was normal. Fast forward to 2018 when I got tired of being tired (among other things) and decided to try an elimination diet to get rid of inflammation in my body. After just a couple of weeks on the Autoimmune Protocol Elimination Diet (AIP) I felt amazing! This kickstarted my interest in Holistic Health and root cause medicine and led me to where I am today.

I decided to start this blog to share a bit about my health journey, healthy recipes and tips for living a healthier life. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or thoughts that you have!
