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!
