{ 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.

ps.. I luv .. luv.. luv your blog.. with moi tea and flax cereal I read and laugh in the am!!
Thanks for sharing and allll the best to you on your book launch!!
Making this now…why do I put the bread pan on top of a baking/cookie sheet? WIll it hinder it from cooking all the way through?
just in case it puffs up and spills over, then it won’t dirty your oven and burn
I made this tonight and it tastes good but it was very soggy and had a lot of moisture around it . I didnt have this with your chocolate swirl cake. I have had this happen with other paleo banana breads and I can’t figure out why! Any suggestions?
it shouldn’t be soggy at all. all i can think of is that it needed to be cooked longer or needed a little extra coconut flour
A definite winner! Was delish! Used Earth Balance vegan buttery sticks and Enjoy life mini chips instead of pecans. Would definately make this again and was so easy to prepare!
Made this today and it’s DIVINE. This is the first time I’d wish my bananas would hurry up and brown so I can make more!
I made this yesterday & it tastes delicious however there is tons of liquid in the bread pan and the consistency makes it seem likes its undercooked.
Is this how it is supposed to be?
Please advise 🙂 thank you!
there shouldn’t be any liquid in the pan at all, not sure why that would have happened
I just made this delicious Coffee Cake of yours and it’s so delish! I didn’t have the coconut sugar so I used xylitol. Yummy recipe to have with my cup of joe 😉
Never knew it would taste this good! hmmm what’s next to make 🙂
I have to say this banana bread is the bomb…I made this recipe over the weekend. I just finished the last piece. My entire family LOVED it. I think I will be making this every weekend. It is that good. I want to have this bread as a staple in my house. I was told and couldn’t agree more that it is the best banana bread ever!!! Absolutely the best. thank you for this wonderful recipe.:-)
Sorry forgot to rate it.
Can I use peanut butter instead of almond butter?
That’s what I’ve got at hand at the moment!
Thank you!
yes, if you want to! not considered paleo but if that works for you, than go for it!
