{ 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.

Made it. Ate it. Delicious!! My kids and husband loved it also!
I have never used or even heard of coconut flour. I have been cooking n baking for more than 60 years. What is coconut flour and where do you buy it? Can you sub all purpose flour? This sounds amazing!
check out tropicaltraditions.com and they can answer all your questions about coconut flour!!
Wonderful!!! Love this my new favorite. I added chocolate chips to it and oh my god heaven. I’ve made several people try it not tell them it’s paleo and said it was the best banana bread they have ever had. So moist and a little piece cures my sweet craving. Thank you!! Never had a recipe from you I don’t like!!! Love this site!! Awesome recipes and stories lol
genius idea! that sounds amazing! i honestly thought about adding some chocolate chips, but I usually just want to add chocolate chips to everything I make
If you did a blind taste test between this and a traditional banana cake, I wouldn’t know which is which. So good. Thank you!
And by banana cake I meant banana bread. 🙂
What can you sub for coconut sugar or crystals if you don’t have either in the cabinet?
You could use honey but it won’t melt the exact same but still will taste good
Man when I was a little girl, the old lady who babysitted me made the BEST coffee cake. I was in love with coffee cake because of her. I haven’t had much coffee cake since then but this recipe takes me back… Not to mention its combined with banana bread?! Juli you rock.
Juli, I just bought blueberries and was going to make the blueberry chocolate chip nanner bread and NOW THIS LOOKS AMAZEBALLS. It’s a seriously difficult decision to make.
I also was reading some of the comments re: new dog and people shaming you about wanting to get a puppy and that you should adopt. I totally understand wanting to get a puppy and not an older dog, but I did run across this website that lists a bunch of rescue organizations. They say that there are puppies to adopt. Might be the best of both worlds? Or maybe after you get your puppy it will need a friend. 🙂 The only thing cuter than 1 french bulldog is TWO! 🙂

Mucho grateful for this site and your generousity. Don’t let people get you down…enjoy your new place and finding a cuddly pup!
Wow, my first time to your site and I found this recipe.
Do you have a breakdown of the Calories, Protein, Carbs, etc for bread?
Nope, I do not
Can’t wait to try it, it will be my Sunday treat!!
