Paleo Banana Bread

IMG_4494.jpeg

You are probably thinking to yourself, “Okay, what makes this banana bread so different?” “ Is it even good if it’s Paleo?” Rest assured, this recipe is by far the closest recipe to the real deal! It is moist, delicious, it is actually healthy, and so easy to make.

What I love most about this recipe is that it uses almond flour which is so much better for you than regular all-purpose flour. Secondly, it uses no dairy. It is simply coconut oil with the mashed bananas that makes this banana bread so moist. Lastly, there are only 2 eggs that are needed in order to make this recipe. I can’t tell you how many recipes out there call for an absurd number of eggs. Like, do I really want to use all my eggs to make a banana bread dish?! Haha!

So, I’m glad you found this recipe because after you make this Paleo banana bread you will never want to go back to any other recipe.
