Paleo Banana Bread

Bread· Recipe Archive

Create a Paleo Banana Bread by combining coconut and tapioca flour and adding some coconut milk, this Paleo Banana Bread mimics the texture of traditional banana bread beautifully, without being either too eggy or too dry

Paleo Banana Bread

This bread is gluten free and dairy free

If you leave off the almonds it becomes nut free too!

When life gives you over-ripe bananas, what do you do?

You make banana bread, of course!

By combining coconut and tapioca flour and adding some coconut milk, this Paleo Banana Bread is perfect.

These are the INGREDIENTS You will need:

  • 2 over ripe bananas mashed with a fork
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 4 eggs
  • ¼ cup palm shortening
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ½ cup coconut milk
  • ½ cup coconut flour
  • ½ cup tapioca flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon grain free baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • sprinkle of almonds optional

These are the INSTRUCTIONS For preparation:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees Farenheit. Prepare a small bread loaf pan by greasing liberally or lining with parchment paper.
  • By hand or with an electric mixer, combine the bananas, honey, eggs, shortening, vanilla, and coconut milk.
  • In a separate small bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, tapioca flour, baking soda, baking powder, sea salt, and cinnamon.
  • Combine the wet and dry ingredients and mix thoroughly, making sure no lumps of coconut flour remain.
  • Pour batter into loaf pan and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out cleaning.
  • Cool in the pan for about 30 minutes, then remove and cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Skip the almond topping for a complete nut free version!

NOTES

Cook’s Tips:I doubled the recipe and made two loaves. You do not need to add extra time to bake. The clean toothpick test works better than (smell) or touch.I also used organic unbleached sugar and the bread was not sweet. If you add more sugar, about 1/4 cup the bread will be sweet.

It is the same texture of traditional banana bread. without being either too eggy or too dry.

Too dry or too soggy are some extremes that seem to describe many coconut flour baked goods.

With having to start providing more healthy dished to my table I found this recipe to be perfect!

Why don’t you give it a try?

I left this picture up on the blog. It was taken in 2014 when I was still a Blogger Intern. LOL.

Even though I burned the bread by underestimating the ingredients, it still turned out well. This was my first attempt at creating Paleo.
