I used agave nectar as I was out of maple syrup and the family demolished it. So good…thanks for the recipe! I assumed it was meant to go in with the other liquids. I might just have to give it a try. I’m trying to drop some lbs, but I can’t resist making a healthy(er) treat like this.

I was wondering the same! I love the coconut oil in this. I made this today, with the coconut oil and barley / buckwheat flours and quinoa for millet. Oh no no no, do you know what you did now?!

Hoping to find another banana recipe on your site I paid a visit… the timing couldn’t be better. Awesome! I posted my adaption and a write-up about how the campers liked the bread on my blog.
