Paleo Banana Bread (Super Moist!)
Paleo Banana Bread combines ripe bananas with almond and tapioca flours, enriched by eggs, butter or coconut oil, honey, and vanilla extract. The fresh banana on top caramelizes during baking, creating moist, tender bread with natural sweetness and a gentle banana flavor, suitable for those following paleo-inspired baking using grain-free flours.
Ingredients
- 2-3 banana ripe, approx 1 1/4 cups mashed
- 1 banana fresh
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/2 cup tapioca flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 egg large
- 1/4 cup butter or coconut oil, melted
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
*Additional butter or coconut oil is needed to grease the loaf pan
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit.
- Use butter or coconut oil to grease the inside of a loaf pan (8.5 x 4.5 inch) and set aside.
- Mash the bananas with a fork in a mixing bowl. Add the remaining ingredients, then use a hand mixer to blend everything together for 30 seconds. Pour the batter into the loaf pan
- Peel and slice the fresh banana in half lengthwise, then place it on top of the batter.
- Cook the banana bread for 50-60 minutes. If the top gets too golden, you can cover with a piece of aluminum foil. Use a toothpick to test that the banana bread is cooked through.
- Remove the banana bread and let it cool for 5 minutes in the loaf pan. Then slice it up and enjoy.
