Ingredients
For the Paleo Banana Bread:
- 4 small/med Very Overripe Bananas or 3 larger Bananas mashed well
- 4 Eggs or Flax Eggs room temp
- 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/4 cup Coconut Oil melted and cooled to almost room temperature
- 1 3/4 cups Almond Flour
- 1/2 cup Tapioca Flour
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp Sea Salt
For the Banana Nice Cream:
- 4 large lBananas sliced into small pieces (for better blending) and frozen
- 1/2 tsp Fresh Vanilla Beans or Vanilla Extract
- 2 Tbsp Almond Milk
- 2 Tbsp Coconut Cream optional for extra creaminess
Instructions
For the Paleo Banana Bread:
- Whisk together all dry ingredients and set aside. Preheat your oven to 350° F and line a medium loaf pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and mashed bananas, then vanilla and coconut oil until well combined.
- Slowly stir the dry mixture into the wet (don’t use an electric mixer – you will over-mix the batter and prevent it from rising properly) just until moistened and no visible flour remains.
- Transfer batter to prepared loaf pan and bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes until deep golden brown and toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Allow to cool completely in the loaf pan resting on a wire rack, then sandwich with the nice cream. Optional: Dip in dark chocolate and coat in toasted chopped hazelnuts.
For the Banana Nice Cream:
- Blend all ingredients until smooth.
- Enjoy!
