How To MakeDiet Type: Paleo
Shopping List
- 2 cups blanched almond flour
- 3 very ripe medium-sized bananas, mashed
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup cassava flour
- 1/4 cup applesauce and/or melted grass-fed butter
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar or honey
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt Add-Ins (optional)
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips, nuts, or dried cherries
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease and line the loaf pan(s) with parchment paper.
- Step 2: In a bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: almond flour, cassava flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside. In another bowl, mix the wet ingredients: mashed bananas, applesauce or butter, eggs, and vanilla.
- Step 3: Fold the dry ingredients into the wet and stir until just combined (try to avoid over-mixing). Fold in any optional add-ins you'd like.
- Step 4: Pour the batter into the pan and bake for about 55 to 60 minutes. The bread will be ready when the top is a bit springy and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Serve: Let cool on the counter at least 15 minutes. When it seems sturdy enough to handle, transfer it to a wire rack to cool fully before slicing. Freezes well.
