Banana Bread with Spelt Flour

I have recently been tested for celiacs, but thankfully this came back negative, however, on doctors orders I have been reducing my intake of gluten.  One of the flours that my body can deal with is spelt.   As a family we love baking and the boys both adore banana bread, so here is my take on banana bread made with spelt flour.

As this is a recipe that I bake regularly with the boys, we use cups to measure it out.  This makes it super quick and simple for the boys to actually make themselves.

I am always on the lookout for ways to make my baking healthier and have really enjoyed cooking with Flora Cuisine which is a blend of sunflower, linseed and rapeseed oils, has 45% less saturated fat than olive oil and is high in omega 3.
