Banana Bread...Paleo-style!


In my opinion, bananas are best when they are still somewhat green. Not REALLY green, but not all yellow either. When the bananas in our house ripen and turn brown'ish, I put them in the freezer. It doesn't take them long to thaw out for smoothies, muffins....or banana bread!

There's a recipe in my Paleo Comfort Foods cookbook for banana bread. It's pretty amazing!

3 cups almond flour
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt

3 eggs
1/4 cup coconut oil (melted)
2 mashed bananas
3 tsp cinnamon
3 tsp vanilla

1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Preheat oven to 350*. Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the eggs and coconut oil. Stir together the eggs and coconut oil with the dry ingredients. Mash the bananas and then combine with the bread mixture, add cinnamon and vanilla. Stir all ingredients together and fold in the walnuts. Pour mixture into a greased bread pan. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

(I baked mine for about 45 minutes, the center took awhile to bake).

The best part about this recipe...how lovely it makes my house smell!!! YUM!
