Paleo Banana Bread Recipe

Have a bunch of bananas sitting on your counter that are past the stage when they are good for eating? Sure, you could put them in a smoothie, but why not whip up a loaf of this easy banana bread?

When I was a kid, I didn’t really like bananas. But my mom’s banana bread? That was heaven. It was moist and delicious; perfect spread with a thick layer of butter. She loved to make it when our friends came over or when we had brunch guests. This is my Paleo-fied version of her wheat-based recipe. I used coconut flour and arrowroot — both of which are available at most health food stores — instead of wheat flour.

This loaf is nut-free, grain-free, and contains no refined sugar. Eggs contribute a sizable amount of nutrients and protein. As an added bonus, coconut flour is full of fiber and is low in carbohydrates.




But making this paleo banana bread in a healthy way doesn’t make it any less easy to make. Just mash some bananas, mix in some eggs and few more ingredients, and bake! It takes just a few minutes to prep the batter for the oven. Set the timer, walk away, and when the timer beeps, you’ll have a beautiful loaf of banana bread.

Even non-Paleo eaters won’t guess that this soft, fluffy, sweet bread is free of grains. Serve with some soft butter or some fruit-sweetened jam for an extra-yummy snack. The leftovers are wonderful chilled or made into a Paleo version of french toast.

So use up those ripe bananas and make a loaf of Paleo banana bread – you’ll be glad you did!
