The most unfortunate of things happened…my beloved VitaMixer broke. As I patiently await its replacement, my bananas are getting soft and mushy. What’s a girl to do with all these bananas? BAKE!!!!
This is fairly Paleo friendly for all my Paleo’s out there…no grains, dairy, and no added sugar. It’s gluten free, Paleo’ish and sweetened only with bananas and perfect for breakfast or a snack.
Ingredients
5-6 small/med very overripe bananas or 4-5 larger ones, mashed well
4 large eggs room temp
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup coconut oil melted and cooled to almost room temp
1 3/4 cups almond flour
1/2 cup tapioca flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp fine grain sea salt
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and line a medium loaf pan with parchment paper.
Whisk together all dry ingredients and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and mashed bananas, then vanilla and coconut oil until well combined.
Slowly stir the dry mixture into the wet (don’t over-mix) just until moistened and no visible flour remains.
Transfer batter to prepared loaf pan and bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes until deep golden brown and toothpick (or fork) inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Allow to cool completely in the loaf pan resting on a wire rack, then remove using the parchment paper to help you.
If you’re a protein person, add a few scoops of Naked Whey to the batter before you bake.
DIG IN!!! Namaste!
