Moist, delicious, gluten-free, dairy-free and refined sugar-free banana bread!
- 2 tbsp. melted and cooled coconut oil
- 3 ripe bananas see picture for level of brown-ness!
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
- 3 eggs
- 2 cups almond flour
- 2 tsp. baking powder see note for paleo baking powder
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 3/4 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/2 cup paleo chocolate chips
- Mash the bananas with a fork until its only a little lumpy and relatively smooth. 
- Combine the coconut oil, mashed bananas, vanilla, cinnamon, eggs and coconut sugar together until it's well combined. 
- Add the almond flour, pinch of salt, baking soda to the wet mixture and combine until just incorporated. 
- Optional: Add in the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts. You can reserve a few to place on top of the loaf before baking as well! 
- Place the batter in a parchment lined glass loaf pan. 
- Bake at 350 degress for 55-60 minutes. The top should be a deep golden brown and a toothpick should come out clean.  Wait at least 40 minutes before slicing and enjoying! 
*Note: If paleo, baking powder is technically not allowed because it contains cornstarch. I don't mind because it is a negligible amount. If strictly paleo you can make an easy 3 ingredient paleo baking powder using this recipe from wickedspatula.com.
