Gluten Free Banana Bread

We’ve been following a paleo way of life for a couple of weeks now, and are feeling the benefits of a cleaner way of eating. I have not missed bread as much as I thought I would, which is good, as carbs like bread do not get along with my metabolism at all.
Because a paleo diet really cuts down on sugar, I’m finding that the natural sugars that I get from fruit, are crazy sweet, and I know it can’t be because we’ve bought really ripe fruit! There are times though, when I know I will need that treat fix, and I found a recipe online for a banana bread that I thought would hit the spot.
It does call for some special ingredients like coconut oil, almond flour and coconut flour, but we managed to buy these without a problem here in the UK. Using non-wheat flours means that this is a gluten free banana bread, so perfect for those of you with an intolerance to gluten. It had a nice hit of sweetness, without being overly sweet, and the almonds gave the bread a nice crunch. It kept well for a couple of days. I thought it tasted its absolute best, just warm out of the oven! This recipe uses American cup measurements.

That does sound good – I like that it uses coconut oil and flour.

Sounds lovely. I actually never baked a banana bread. I really have to try it one day.

I was worried it wouldn’t be sweet, and whilst not as sweet as a “regular” banana bread, because I’ve cut sugar from my diet, it tasted perfect.

This sounds really healthy and delicious, I ma surprised it has no sugar added to it at all except the sweetness from the bananas.
