Rustic Carrot-Banana Bread with Walnuts

Step 1

Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or grease with coconut oil.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 410 degrees.

Step 3

Combine the wet ingredients in a large mixing bowl, mashing the bananas very well with the sweetener, citrus juice and oil.

Step 4

Fold in the dry ingredients until a thickened batter forms.

Step 5

Fold in the fold-in ingredients.

Step 6

Pour batter into pan and sprinkle a few rolled oats over top. I like to add a sprinkle of coarse sugar or a drizzle of sweetener over top too.

Step 7

Bake at 410 for twenty minutes, then reduce heat and bake for an additional 15 minutes at The loaf will firm up a bit as it cools, but keep in mind that this is a hearty, more dense loaf because it is gluten-free and contains a lot of knobby, dense ingredients. Tons of texture in each bits.

Step 8

Cool a bit, slice and serve. Store leftover, covered, in the fridge or freezer and re-warm to serve.
