{ 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.

Thanks for the amazing recipe! We made into muffins and my family devoured them. Now I’m just waiting for more overripe bananas on the counter so we can make this recipe again.
hi there
this recipe sound so good! where do you buy your coconut flour and almond flour? i have seen almond at trader joes/sprouts but not coconut flour
thanks!
gina
i buy my coconut flour on tropicaltraditions.com
how would you recommend storing it. Also, the middle is a bit jiggly. Will it firm up as it cools? Smells delish!
it should cook longer if it is jiggly, it shouldn’t be jiggly at all. and store it in the fridge
I have tried several of the GF banana breads out there. Hands down the best! I made it loaf style the first time and it did not cook all the way through. On going problem I have with loaf breads. But, made it into muffins yesterday and perfect. This will be made over and over at my house. Thank you so much for the recipe!!!
was hoping someone made this into muffins. How long did you cook them for?
Almond Butter….is this like the almond butter that is brown that looks like peanut butter?
Yes!
Hi Juli,
fab to have found your site. I’m from the UK where paleo is a quietly spread secret and I have eventually found out about it’s amazing health benefits.
If I were to sub the Coconut Sugar for maple syrup…do I need to add something to soak up the liquid?
Thanks…so greatful to have found your blog!
that would probably still work!
Can I sub almond flour for the coconut flour (I have so many different flours and can’t bear to buy another)? If so, should I change the amount used? Thanks.
P.S. I’ve been intentionally ignoring my bananas all week because I’d much rather make your banana bread than eat a banana. ;))
Gah! I missed your response earlier about this issue. Never mind.
Can I substitute apple sauce for eggs? I’m allergic to eggs but am dying to try the recipe!
i honestly don’t know because i haven’t tried it that way
This is amazing! I am gluten free and new to paleo! Made tonight as muffins, baked for 15 minutes, perfect. Wanting to pin on Pinterest but unsure how! Thank you!
