Gluten-Free Macadamia Nut Banana Bread


I woke up this morning craving banana bread slathered with cream cheese so I jumped out of bed and ran to the kitchen to see if I had all the available ingredients. Well since I kicked the flour habit a while back, I thought almond meal would be the perfect substitution. And it was! This quick bread took no time at all to whip up and the only thing I sacrificed was the cream cheese. *Sigh. Nonetheless, this hazelnut banana bread is now going into my recipe box of favorites. Happy Eating!
