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

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. Cream egg yolks and honey in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Hand held mixer takes about five minutes.
3. Add olive oil, vanilla, and mashed bananas to bowl, mixing well
4. In smaller separate bowl, mix the cinnamon, baking powder and almond flour. You may wish to sift to combine thoroughly. I didn’t.
5. Add mixture of spices and powder to the bowl and stir in well
6. Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form using hand held mixer. (Vital)
7. Fold in the egg whites into banana mixture until it pulls away from sides, and then fold in rest of egg whites into mixture
8. Add nuts if you are using them
9. Lightly oil 2 bread loaf pans with coconut oil and pour in the batter.
10. 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.

Author: Danielle Walker- Against All Grain

Prep time:  10 minutes, Cook time:  60 minutes, Serves: 10

Ingredients

• 2 large eggs
• ¾ cup sunbutter or almond butter
• ½ cup grade B maple syrup
• ½ cup pumpkin puree (homemade or canned)
• 3 tablespoons softened palm shortening, ghee, or unsalted butter
• 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ cup arrowroot powder
• 1½ tablespoons cinnamon
• 2 teaspoons nutmeg
• 2 teaspoons grain-free baking powder (or make your own- 1tsp baking soda+2 tsp cream of tartar)
• ½ teaspoon lemon zest
• ½ teaspoon ginger
• ¼ teaspoon sea salt

Note: if almond butter is used, decrease baking powder to 1.5 teaspoons and add ½ teaspoon baking soda

Instructions

1.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

2.  Lightly grease an 8.5×4.5 loaf pan then place a piece of parchment paper on the bottom of the pan.

3.  In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the eggs, sunbutter, maple syrup, pumpkin puree, palm shortening, lemon juice, and vanilla. Puree for 30 seconds until smooth and creamy.

4.  Add the arrowroot, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, lemon zest, ginger, and sea salt. Blend again for 30 seconds until well combined.

5.  Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 60 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.

6.  Remove the loaf from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Remove from the pan and cool completely before eating, about 2 hours. Store tightly wrapped in the refrigerator.

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