Sorry for all the "Paleo" posts, but I've been on a mission to find things that fit within this eating philosophy...Some friends and I are challenging one another to eat this way for the month of April (a birthday party & easter have already blown it for me, but I am still trying!! Hence, the Paleo posts :)). This recipe calls for coconut flour which I did not have on hand. I substituted instead using my Pamela's Baking Mix which is a gluten free pre-made baking mix using a variety of wheat free flours (& fairly easy to find in a health food store). If you try this using Pamela's mix, you would omit the baking soda & powder b/c that's already in the pre-made mix, fyi.
Ingredients:
3-4 ripe bananas
4 eggs
1/2 C almond butter
4 TBS coconut oil
1/2 C coconut flour (here's where I used Pamela's Baking Mix)
1 TBS cinnamon (I thought that sounded like a lot, so I used a little less than a full TBS, but it didn't seem overpowering at all, so I might use the full TBS next time)
1 tsp baking soda (don't use if using Pamela's)
1 tsp baking powder (don't use if using Pamela's)
1 tsp vanilla
pinch of sea salt
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. Combine bananas, eggs, coconut oil, & almond butter in mixer & blend together
3. Add in dry ingredients and mix well
4. Grease a loaf pan (if you are using a metal pan it may bake in 35-40min so start cking at 35, to make sure middle stays moist)
5. Pour in batter & spread evenly throughout
6. Bake in oven for 55-60min or until a toothpick inserted in middle comes out clean
7. Remove & cool. Slice and serve.
One other side note! This recipe contains no "sweeteners"...therefore you might want to drizzle a little honey or agave on the slice upon eating it...it is still a really good flavor bread & very moist, even without the added sugar. I will definitely make this again!!
P.S. This came from the Civilized Caveman's recipe site
