This bread is gluten free, dairy free, and 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 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. 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?
