Not only do I love bananas but I love banana bread! Recently at a family party there was homemade banana bread and it was delicious! However, just thinking about the butter, sugar and flour make me cringe a little! lol! Thankfully, I stumbled upon a healthier version that is also paleo friendly (I believe?).
Instead of butter and flour I substituted coconut flour and coconut oil. I used all natural peanut butter but you can use any nut butter. Confession: my son helped me out and he added some Enjoy Life dark chocolate chips – these are vegan, soy & dairy free so I still count it as healthy! You can leave them out if you wish but they do make a good addition!
My little helper!
The bread came out so moist that the bottom stuck a little to the pan. It may not look picture perfect but it was delicious!! Everyone loved it! Freezing some for later too!
