our fave whole banana bread.

Picture
Since deciding to take on the whole lifestyle challenge, we quickly realized that none of our traditional breakfast meals fit the gluten-free, dairy-free and sugar-free requirements.  Given that we both love banana bread, I thought I would put our own spin on some common Whole 30 recipes and it has already been a hit in our house.  I'm not even sure it will make it the rest of the week, and I may need to make a few more tasty loaves.  If you're looking for a healthier version of banana bread, this is a great recipe to try, substituting all-purpose for almond and tapioca flours, and maximizing the banana flavour.

ingredients.

3 to 4 large bananas, mashed
2 tsp vanilla extract
4 large eggs
1 ¾ cup fine almond flour
½ tapioca flour
¼ cup coconut oil, melted
1 ½ tsp baking soda
​
½ tsp baking powder
1 ½ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp nutmeg (optional)
Sprinkle of fine sea salt
Cooking spray

instructions.

  1. PREP IT. Preheat the oven to 350° F.  Lightly coat a loaf pan with cooking spray and line with parchment paper (the spray will help keep the paper in place). 

  2. MIX THE DRY INGREDIENTS.  In a medium bowl, mix together the dry ingredients well.  If you’d like a little spice in the bread, include nutmeg (optional). Set aside.

  3. MIX THE WET INGREDIENTS.  In a separate, large bowl, mash the bananas well.  Add in the eggs, vanilla and melted coconut oil.  Whisk together until well combined.

  4. COMBINE ALL THE INGREDIENTS.  About half a cup at a time, stir the dry mixture into the wet ingredients using a whisk.  Continue to mix until all the dry ingredients are well incorporated and no visible flour remains.  Gently pour the batter in the lined loaf pan and bake for 50-65 minutes or until dark brown.  Check with a toothpick and adjust time accordingly.

  5. SERVE & ENJOY. Once fully cooked through, place the loaf pan on a wire rack and let cool. Once completely cooled, remove the parchment paper and loaf from the pan. Slice, serve and enjoy!
