Dairy-free, Nut-free, and Egg-free Chocolate Banana Bread
When people find out that I have severe food allergies, and that I cannot have dairy and nuts, the question that often follows is, “So what do you eat??” They are starting to realize all of the food I cannot have. No butter, no ice cream, no peanut butter, no Reese’s cups. My response back is usually that I manage to find safe things, but yes, my options are extremely limited. I have to say that of all foods, desserts are usually the most difficult for me to either find safe options, or to make safe options that actually taste good.
Thankfully I have found or adapted a few recipes that are simple, allergy-friendly, and are also crowd-pleasers.
This recipe for chocolate banana bread is one of those. A month or two after my husband and I got married, I tried to find a few new dessert recipes to try to impress him. Thankfully, this one has stuck with him, and he often requests for it (mind you he has no allergies, so he knows what he is missing when he eats my allergy-friendly food). This recipe is simple, and also has an egg-free option for those with egg allergies. I hope you enjoy the recipe, and it can be another safe dessert for you and your family!
