Bananalicious Nut-Free Banana Bread

This Paleo nut-free banana bread recipe is “bananalicous” and easy to make. Co-staring with bananas is sunflower seed butter, which adds a pleasing nutty flavor to Paleo quick breads without the use of actual nuts. Of course if you don’t have a nut allergy, and you have some almond butter or another nut butter on hand, go ahead and use it. All nut and seed butters are interchangeable in this recipe.
