Paleo Pumpkin Banana Bread
Valentina P
Soft, melt-in-your-mouth tender pumpkin banana bread. It's the best of both worlds with plenty of chocolate chips thrown in for good measure. Grain-free, paleo.
How To MakeDiet Type: Paleo
Shopping List
- 2 cups blanched almond flour
- 1/2 cup cup cassava flour (Note 1)
- 1 cup paleo chocolate chips or chopped chocolate bar
- 3/4 cup coconut sugar
- 2 very ripe medium to large bananas, mashed
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup canned unsweetened pumpkin
- 1/4 cup avocado oil, grapeseed oil, and/or melted grass-fed butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
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, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. In another bowl, mix the wet ingredients: mashed bananas, eggs, pumpkin, and oil or butter.
- Step 3: Fold the dry ingredients into the wet and stir until just combined (try to avoid over-mixing). Fold in 3/4 of the chocolate chips.
- Step 4: Pour the batter into the pan. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of chocolate chips over the top. Bake for 60 minutes. After 60 minutes, lightly cover the bread with foil and bake an additional 10 to 15 minutes. The bread will be ready when the top is a bit springy and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Serve: Cool on the counter for at least 30 minutes. When it seems sturdy enough to handle, transfer it to a wire rack to cool fully before slicing. Freezes well.
