Paleo Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

For anyone else who never seem to finish their batch of bananas before they go brown, this is for you. I love this recipe because it doesn’t have a ton of ingredients, and makes for a really light serving of banana bread. That said, unlike “non-paleo” banana bread, it’s a lot more moist (I hate that word, but there’s no other way to describe it). But if you have diet restrictions, it is paleo and gluten-free, and you can make it sugar-free by skipping the chocolate chips.

Paleo Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

• 1 1/4 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 3 bananas)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup almond butter
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup coconut flour
• 3/4 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup chocolate chip, dairy free (I like the Enjoy Life brand)
• Optional: I add 1/4 cup of arrowroot starch to make it a little more dense…I suppose you can just add more coconut flour too here

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a nonstick loaf pan with cooking spray.
2. Mix the wet ingredients (bananas, vanilla extract, almond butter) until smooth and creamy.
3. Add in eggs one at a time and mix with a mixer (I just do this by hand cuz I don’t have one).
4. Blend in coconut flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and fold in chocolate chips last
5. Pour in batter into the loaf pan, and smooth. Stick in the oven for 25-30 minutes.
6. Let cool, and serve!
