Banana Bread


Banana bread is a sneaky treat. It sounds healthy, but it often has a lot of sugar and fat. This version is just as yummy and is a bit friendlier for your waistline. This recipe includes healthy coconut oil and coconut sugar. You can have a very generous serving of this and slice it into 8 slices, but we prefer to make it last and cut it into slivers.


Ingredients
  • 3 large, ripe bananas, mashed 
  • 1/4 cup melted extra virgin coconut oil 
  • 1 large egg 
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup almond flower 
  • 1 cup flour 
  • 1 tsp baking powder 
  • 3 tbsp coconut sugar 
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt


Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F
  • Coat a bread pan with cooking spray, set aside 
  • Combine mashed bananas, oil, egg, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl, mix well to combine 
  • Combine almond flour, flour baking powder, sugar, and salt in a separate mixing bowl, stir to combine 

  • Add flour mixture to banana mixture, slowly until a smooth batter forms 
  • Pour and spread batter into bread pan

  • Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean 
  • Cool for 5 minutes in pan 
  • Remove loaf from pan and allow to cool completely on a cooling rack 

My favorite way to enjoy this banana bread is for breakfast with a tbsp of natural peanut butter and my cup of coffee. Give it a try!
