Super Moist Butter-Free, Sugar-Free Banana Bread with Pecans

Super Moist Butter-free, Sugar-free Banana Bread with Pecans. We included gluten free and vegan options in the recipe. Link in bio to make this MEOW. For our version we used greek yogurt and coconut oil and it turned out so moist it was perfecto! Also - don't know why we've never cut our banana bread this way before but it was fun and you should try it. Makes for a nice selection of slice sizes to choose from. #ThePrettyFeed #TPF #BananaBread
