{ 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.

Loved it!!! And so did my husband and my neighbor! I gave my neighbor the recipe. The only thing I did differently was, I soaked my mashed bananas in brewed, organic coffee. I drained off the coffee before adding the bananas to the recipe.

I forgot to rate it in my previous post! I loved it!!!
Just made this last night and it is delicious! I followed the recipe exactly and it came it absolutely perfect. I like that it is not as sweet as other banana breads that I’ve tried. It’s also very filling!
This banana bread is so good. The best gf/paleo banana bread I’ve had so far. I used ripe bananas (not brown) & pb (instead of almond butter). Turned out way better than I thought it would. I’ve tried quite a few ‘not quite bread’ gf banana breads. This one looks & tastes like true banana bread. So good. Seriously, so good. I will definitely be making this many more times in the future. Thank you for this recipe!!!!!
1/4 cup of coconut flour is definitely not enough. Maybe you’re using really small bananas but it’s definitely just a huge mush without more flour.
It was enough for me and everyone else who has tried it…
Any recommendations on going eggless? What’s the ratio for flax, or other binding agent?
haven’t tried eggless
As a pregnant lady with crazy banana cravings, can I just say that this is THE best banana bread recipe EVER! I added chocolate chips and extra nuts (you know, for the nutritional value :). And it was amazing! I’ve shared it with all my paleo/low carb/gluten free friends!!! Thank you so much for sharing this with the world!
I am new to this paleo thing and came across your blog. Your recipes are amazing! I don’t even miss the real stuff. Do you provide nutritional information for your recipes at all?? How fattening are these yummy treats?
No. And most are very high fat content, along with my daily food intake.
Just made this and it’s amazing. Soo good. What’s the best way to store it? Is it freezable?
Fridge! Haven’t tried freezing it
Aloha Juli!
I just have to say your awesome and amazing! Looking up paleo recipes all the time and always find myself back to YOU!! My little paleo toddler would kiss you if he knew you were the one who shows his mama how to make these yummy treats!
I don’t know how you do it with some of these people asking the same questions over and over along with some kind of ridiculous ones as well. wheat flour? all purpose flour? HELLO! THIS IS A PALEO WEBSITE PEOPLE! SHEESH!!!
