{ COOKING VIDEO }
Say what?? I want to eat this all day. No seriously. I almost did yesterday.
Alright. I need to put something out there. Right on the table. This is for my readers that have read my blog for a while now and know my complete life story. First, thank you for sticking with me. You’re the best. You’ve been with me through the ups and downs. So a while back, you read about my break up. Well, months later, that lovely man and I rekindled our happiness and have been together for sometime now. Annnnnd we moved in together. First time moving in with a guy. Woooo weeee. I decided to keep some of my relationship stuff to myself since there are so many variables when it comes to creating a happy relationship. Sometimes it’s just better to keep that stuff between you and your partner, instead of the world wide web. BUT since I hadn’t updated anyone and there were some questions in my last blog post, there ya go. He’s just wonderful. We’ve had our ups and downs, but I couldn’t be happier. Taking a new journey together has been awesome.
Sorry this post is coming at you a little late. Let me explain myself. So yesterday, lovely Sunday, I woke up and made a smoothie. Fact. Then worked out. Then the true fun began. I went couch shopping. Ugh. Not only is furniture shopping an extremely awful task, but on a Sunday when all hell breaks loose in every parking lot, it’s an even worse task. Ok, I shouldn’t really complain. It wasn’t that terrible. It just gets pretty unfun when you’re hungry and have to pee. So we looked for couches, found one we liked, couldn’t decide if we should get it, then went to another furniture store. Which was even more unfun because it was way more expensive. But the parking lot was better, so that was a positive.
Yes, I understand unfun is not a word. If you were thinking that in your head, you’re unfun.
So after the boyfriend and I found out we couldn’t come to a conclusion, we headed to brunch. Around 3. I was starving. Hangry. After a couple mimosas, I felt decent for them not being as strong as needed on a sunny Sunday. But I knew I wanted to make this recipe. So we bolted home for him to take an afternoon snooze and for me to bake. And I baked. And failed. I put this recipe into a too small baking dish and it pretty much went every where. All over the oven. I mean…I still ate the edible parts. But the non edibles turned into smoke inside the oven. So I then cleaned the oven and couched it for a while in frustration. But I couldn’t go down that easy, so I made it again last night and just stared at it since I couldn’t eat it until I took pictures until today. Which leads me to right now. This very moment. I just took pictures of this beauty. Now go make it. It’s amazing.

This was great! I baked mine for 55 minutes, and my oven tends to run a little hot so I was suprised but it definitely needed that extra time. It’s still SUPER moist but cooked through. The middle of mine sunk but it still looks pretty and the taste is AMAZING! Like a french toast/banana bread/cinnamon bun type flavor explosion. As usual, your recipes don’t dissapoint! Thanks!
Juli,
You are a freaking genius!! I made this last night, but I was out of coconut flour, which like many of the posters I didn’t realize until I was already in the process. Substituted about 3/4 c. of almond flour. I also made muffins rather than a loaf and put some Enjoy Life dark chocolate chips in my topping. I also used half the amount of cinnamon and put in 1/4 tsp of nutmeg to replace it. I am SO HAPPY this morning eating my banana nut muffin! The flavor, the texture, the crunch and the soft, and the mouth-melting deliciousness! I’m thinking the next brunch that I host is featuring these!!
Oh… Since I did muffins instead of loaf, they baked for about 40 minutes.
Can’t wait to make this. I don’t see anywhere number of servings and calories per serving with nutrition information???
no clue
Crossing my fingers I will like this, every paleo desert I have made always taste bland, dry, too coconutty or just not the same as the real deal (obviously) it’s in the oven right now and smells and looks really good. This recipe caught me eye because it’s the 1st paleo bake good recipe I have seen that calls for Grass feed butter, I was sold 🙂
Hi…I am going to try this. I can’t have any grains and baked some muffins once with coconut flour that sadly were just awful. But this really does look good. Thanks from ‘Down Under’. 🙂
About how many grams or cups of banana do you think this would be? I save all my brown bananas in the freezer and they are broken up!
a little over 1 cup of mashed bananas
These were SO good! Made them as muffins for a friend who is anti-paleo and she loved them! Just pre-ordered your new book can’t wait!
I made this recipe a couple weeks ago and forgot to comment but MUST! THIS IS DELISH! 🙂 I made it for a few of my bible study ladies and they all loved it! The topping really makes it and I didn’t think it was too tough to make….yum yum yum!
I have this baking right now and I’m super excited! Thrilled this website was shared with me! Can’t wait to bake more, like those blueberry breakfast bars
Hi 🙂
I baked the bread today and I didn’t realize that I was suppose to use a 3/4 c of almond flour inplace of the coconut flour. I only used 1/4 c of almond flour. Would this make it spongy/egg like? The mix up with the almond flour was prob the problem right? Great flavor just odd texture. Would it help if I cook it longer?
On a side note can you tell me what to use tapioca flour for?
Thanks a ton!!
yes. if it was spongy, that’s because there was not enough flour to egg ratio
I am commenting again and giving a real rating after tasting this banana bread, hands down best paleo desert I have ever had! It’s Moist and doesn’t have a strong coconut taste, it’s also actually sweet enough to full fill that sweet tooth u have. Yay finally I have found something paleo I like!
