Paleo banana bread recipe

Step 1

Preheat oven to 160C. Grease and line a 1.5L loaf pan with baking paper.

Step 2

Mash 2 bananas in a bowl with maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon and bicarb soda. In a separate bowl, using an electric mixer, beat coconut oil and eggs until combined. Combine coconut flour, almond meal and baking powder in a bowl. Fold banana mixture into egg mixture, then fold in the flour mixture and nuts.

Step 3

Spread batter into baking pan. Halve remaining banana horizontally and press into the top of the batter. Bake for 55 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Cool for 30 minutes in the pan.

Step 4

Drizzle with extra warm maple syrup and dust with cinnamon, to serve.
