A one-bowl, easy banana bread recipe with coconut flour, almond butter, and maple syrup, this moist, tender loaf is ideal if you are looking to eat well, without a life devoid of yummy baked treats, tasty breakfasts, and satisfying snacks. (Ahem, moi!) Yes, this banana bread is Paleo (meaning it is grain free, gluten free, dairy free, and does not contain refined sugars), BUT you certainly do not need to be following a Paleo diet to enjoy it. I don’t stick to a Paleo diet myself (or Whole30 or anything else), but I still appreciate recipes that are made of real ingredients, are healthy, and still taste fantastic. This Paleo banana bread is all of the above.
How to Make Paleo Banana Bread
When you make this recipe, eating banana bread is good for you! This recipe is packed with fiber, protein, and healthy fats.
The Ingredients
Bananas. The flavor star! Bananas add natural sweetness, moisture, potassium, and fiber. Eggs. Eggs are critical for structure and moisture. Maple Syrup. Sweetens the bread naturally and adds coziness. Almond Butter. Adds richness and nuttiness to the bread.
Vanilla. The bow that ties all the wonderful flavors together.Coconut Flour. If you aren’t familiar with coconut flour (I like Paleo banana bread Bob’s Red Mill), this Paleo banana bread is an excellent reason to get acquainted. With coconut flour, you can eat gluten free bread on the Paleo diet. It’s super high in fiber and protein, and ideal for low-carb, grain-free, and gluten-free baking.
Cinnamon + Nutmeg. Cozy spices that make the bread taste warm and inviting.
The Directions
Storage Tips
To Store. Refrigerate bread in an airtight storage container lined with paper towels for up to 1 week. To Freeze. Wrap leftover bread tightly in plastic wrap, and then place it in a freezer-safe ziptop bag or airtight storage container. Freeze for up to 3 months. For best results, let thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
Recommended Tools to Make this Recipe
Loaf Pan. Perfect for making this banana bread recipe. Measuring Cups. I prefer metal measuring cups because they wash well and don’t bend when I’m scooping a particularly hefty cup of flour.Measuring Spoons. I love these because they stay organized in my drawer.
Coconut flour absorbs a large amount of moisture, so you need the full amount of liquid to ensure the banana bread comes out perfectly moist. Wondering what you’ll do with the rest of the bag you purchase? Try my top-rated Paleo Zucchini Bread with Chocolate Chips and these tasty Protein Balls.
