PALEO BANANA BREAD
I found two great recipes. They were from different sources but very, very similar. My first one sunk in the middle, so I tried using cupcake pans for the second recipe. They were too dry. I made the mistake of doubling the recipes as well. One recipe easily makes two loaves or 24 cupcakes and 4 smaller loaf pans. There is probably no need to double. I combined the two recipes and came out with fool-proof and delicious banana bread.
Ingredients
- 3 eggs, separated (keep the yolks and whites separate) I read that using eggs at room temperature works best to create stiff egg white peaks.
- ¼ cup honey
- 4 TBSP Olive Oil
- 3 mashed bananas very ripe
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 cup pecans or walnuts (optional)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Cream egg yolks and honey in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Hand held mixer takes about five minutes.
- Add olive oil, vanilla, and mashed bananas to bowl, mixing well
- In smaller separate bowl, mix the cinnamon, baking powder and almond flour. You may wish to sift to combine thoroughly. I didn’t.
- Add mixture of spices and powder to the bowl and stir in well
- Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form using hand held mixer. (Vital)
- Fold in the egg whites into banana mixture until it pulls away from sides, and then fold in rest of egg whites into mixture
- Add nuts if you are using them
- Lightly oil 2 bread loaf pans with coconut oil and pour in the batter.
- Place in oven 40-45 min. I would check at about 40 min.if you see that there is a crack in the top of the loaf and it has browned nicely. Stick them with toothpick to see if it comes out clean.
These will be even better the next day.
After two or three days, store in sealed container in refrigerator. I love using the Glass Snap on Lids containers.

*baking powder is used as opposed to my preferred baking soda to prevent this from turning green
