Banana Bread Brownies

Look no further for a healthy recipe for a sugar-free, high-carb banana bread cake recipe for dessert. Some people thrive, and need, higher carbs to hit their health goals, however, choosing the right higher carb is important. Bananas are made up of mostly complex carbs, including resistant starch, which ferments in the large intestine and helps feed our good bacteria in the gut. Potassium is a mineral and an electrolyte and helps your muscles work, which is why many endurance athletes make healthy bananas a part of their recovery.
