Number two is my Sugar-Free Apple Pie Filling! I created this during a time when I was having trouble with both sugar and grains, so I would put this over yogurt and enjoy it as a treat.

I’ve needed to perfect a banana bread recipe for years, and this is it! This recipe relies heavily on the banana for sweetness, but a touch of maple syrup is added for complementary flavor. It’s made with whole grain spelt flour, and I personally can’t imagine a better (healthy) banana bread.

Well, that does it for this year’s yummy-ness! I hope you all have a happy new year and are ready for some low sugar goodness come January!
