I have had over ripe bananas in my kitchen on two separate occasions in the last few weeks. Every time I get set to find my Auntie Anne’s recipe, I come back and the bananas are gone! Well, this time I hid those bananas, (in my Christmas present hiding place) and went in search of that recipe. Well, I just couldn’t find it. I know it is here somewhere so I searched the web for a similar one. Smells good so far! I can’t wait to try out some others.

Paleo Banana Bread
This Paleo Banana Bread mimics the texture of traditional banana bread beautifully, without being either too eggy or too dry. Two extremes that seem to describe many coconut flour baked goods.
