{ 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.

I don’t even like banana bread, but this recipe is sooooo good!! I honestly haven’t made one thing of yours that we don’t devour. You were my first paleo cookbook :). Your recipes have made us commit to and thoroughly enjoy the paleo lifestyle!!
I cannot wait to try this one! I am such a huge fan of coffee cake and anything involving ingredients you might put in a pancake. I’m salivating already.
WTH I’m dropping everything to make this right now. Whoa. Whoaaaaaa.
This is delicious! I didn’t have coconut flour and didn’t realize it until I was already in the middle of making this–used 3/4 cup almond flour and crossed my fingers. It worked (not sure if it was the flour issue but I did bake 10 minutes longer). Super yummy!
Nothing I like better than a healthy snack! I’m terrible at baking though so I’m drooling at your creations! My friend told me she saw paleo brownies (organic and packaged) on this website but I’m not sure if it’s good. Has anyone tried it before? http://omgr.in/brainsW14
At least I’m not the only one stalking your page and *gasped* when read moved in with the boyfriend! So freaking happy for you!!!
Side note, I REALLLLLLLLLLLLY want to make this but I don’t have any cooking items anymore 🙁 stupid moving!
Absolutely love the fact that this recipe is gluten and dairy free. Looks delicious! Thank you for sharing xx

I would like to replace the Almond flour by something else (Allergy), Can you suggest another flour forme please? Thank you
if you could use a different nut flour, that would work fine!
Thanks for this yummy concept!! The coconut flour I’ve used creates grainy texture…which I don’t like. Is almond flour less grainy? Also, your pic looks like you put topping in center of banana bread as well as on top. Did you?
i guess so. i’ve never thought of coconut flour as grainy though. no, just on top and it sinks into the bread
glad everything is working out with you and your man 🙂 and this recipe sounds amazing!! love bananas warm, which might sound weird but sometimes we cook up a banana with scrambled eggs
