Banana Bread (paleo)

June 23, 2017 by Dafna Leave a Comment

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

It’s finally summer which, for me, means time at the beach with my toes in the sand, sitting poolside with friends, movies in the backyard, long and wonderfully warm days, flip flops all day every day, meals outside, and more concerts. This weekend we are going to a music festival at the Rose Bowl and it seems like the perfect way to kick off the summer. At these kind of events I am always the girl with the backpack with extra layers, band-aids, hand sanitizer, and of course snacks. Always snacks. This banana bread will be the perfect addition to this year’s snack collection.

The banana bread will be a great way to get steady energy from the natural sugars in the bananas without all the gluten or grains. I often find banana breads to be lacking in the banana flavor. I believe that the bread should be packed with bananas and should not get overwhelmed by too many other flavors. The overripe bananas lend a natural sweetness to the recipe so no additional sweetener is necessary! I sprinkled the top with some seasame and a few seeds for a little bit of crunch. This can be eaten just as it is or toasted and topped with butter or nut butter. I like to bake, let cool completely, slice, and keep frozen for future use.

Banana Bread

I often find banana breads to be lacking in the banana flavor. I believe that the bread should be packed with bananas and should not be overwhelmed by too many other flavors. This banana bread is just that. And the overripe bananas lend a natural sweetness so no additional sweetener is necessary!
