The Healthiest GF, SF Banana Bread in Town
Ok, you may not thank me for this recipe… the first version was a little (lot) on the healthy side and the feedback from home was not good… but I have played around with the ingredients and think it will now be a great gluten free, sugar free treat.
The texture is really nice, if you are not used to low sweetness you can play around with adding a little honey or even chocolate chips. Natural “pure” Stevia is the best sugar substitute you can use (just make sure it is definitely pure)…. I will go into more depth on this in a later post.
Ingredients
4 very ripe (the riper the sweeter) bananas (2 1/2 cups mashed or 575 grams)
4 eggs
1/2 cup almond or cashew butter (140 grams)
4 tablespoons butter or coconut oil, melted
1/2 cup coconut flour (75 grams)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder (gluten free or homemade)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla essence or 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest (your choice)
2 teaspoons (or to taste) pure stevia
pinch of sea salt
3/4 cup lightly crushed walnuts or pecans
4 eggs
1/2 cup almond or cashew butter (140 grams)
4 tablespoons butter or coconut oil, melted
1/2 cup coconut flour (75 grams)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla essence or 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest (your choice)
2 teaspoons (or to taste) pure stevia
pinch of sea salt
3/4 cup lightly crushed walnuts or pecans
Method
