AIP: Banana Bread

 

 

Cake.  Yes, it is possible to be on AIP and eat your cake too.  

 

Being a lover of baking cakes, making the decision to try the Autoimmune Protocol left me feeling deprived and depressed.  Was I ever going to eat cake again?  Or more to the point, was I ever going to grease a pan, whip up a batter and bake a cake again?

 

The answer is yes, and I have the discovery of The Healing Family Eats blog to thank for "healing a hole" in my sole.  Alright, a little dramatic, but you get the drift.

 

Case in point.  Her Banana Cinnamon Teacake.  Now, unfortunately in Australia, it's not so easy to pick up palm shortening, let alone a good quality organic variety, so I had to adapt.  My version of Kate's cake is a little more crumbly that she describes, but I loved it, crumbs and all, and so have non-AIPers.  

 

Just goes to show, use quality ingredients and bake with love, you can't go wrong!
