Admittedly, the word “health food” probs isn’t the first thing you think when you look at this picture. But it is far better for your bod than the sugar-laden loaves you’d find at your local bakery. Not only is the batter gluten-free and low in refined sugar, but it also contains ginger – a powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. Little wonder then, it was quickly gobbled up by guests who gave it “five stars.”
Keen to try out this variation for yourself? Check out the recipe below.
Ingredients
2 cups gluten-free flour
2/3 cup golden granulated sugar

2/3 cup sour cream
1 cup mashed banana
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
