Happy Monday! There is just something about banana bread that never disappoints. It was a chilly rainy morning when I spotted our very brown bananas. I instantly wanted to make banana bread so that is exactly what I did! This banana bread is completely paleo, gluten, soy, dairy and nut free. What I love most about this recipe is that it is so yummy as is, but is also the perfect base to add anything to it to jazz it up. You could add chocolate chips, nuts, fruit, coconut flakes or whatever suits your fancy! I already have a couple ideas of how to transform this recipe into something even better!
I made this recipe with maple sugar, but coconut sugar will work as well. If you use coconut sugar be prepared to have a darker loaf after baking. If you don’t have paleo flour on hand or access to it, don’t worry! It is a 1:1 ratio of conventional wheat flour which means you can use a gluten free flour or even cassava flour in these exact measurements.
Happy eating!
