THIS RECIPE IS GLUTEN-FREE AND PALEO.
Cinnamon & Ginger Banana Bread
(Gluten-Free & Paleo)
Daily, I’m becoming more convinced that Scott may also have some sort of a gluten-intolerance, and I think he is too.
He is in good hands!
Scott’s biggest concern is beer – or lack there of. I don’t blame him. I have become accustomed to the gluten-free beer options out there, with New Grist being my favourite to date.
I sent him to work with 2 honking slices of this delicious, moist, (gluten-free and paleo) banana bread. I smothered his with chocolate drizzle so he doesn’t think paleo is “too” healthy.
(Also, he just texted me asking if I could take his Heineken out of the fridge…meaning, warm beer is not drinkable beer…I think it’s working!).
What I used for this recipe:
Cinnamon & Ginger Banana Bread
(Gluten-Free & Paleo)
- 2½ cups bananas, ripe + 2 whole bananas for garnish
- 4 eggs
- ½ cup almond butter
- ½ cup coconut flour
- 1/4 cup butter
- 3 tbsp each hemp hearts, chia seed and flax meal
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tsp ginger
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/8 tsp salt
-
Preheat oven to 350 F.
-
Line 2 loaf pans (8.5" x 4.5") with parchment paper and set aside.
-
Add all wet ingredients to a food processor and process until combined.
-
Add dry ingredients to wet batter, and process until combined.
-
Divide batter equally between the 2 prepared loaf pans.
-
Slice 2 whole bananas length wise. Garnish each loaf with sliced banana, seed side up. Lightly press each sliced banana into wet batter.
-
Place loaf pans on middle oven rack and bake for 50 minutes.
-
Remove from oven, and insert the tip of a butter knife into the center of each loaf to ensure it comes out clean. If any batter is stuck to the knife, place back in the oven for 5 minutes or until knife comes out clean.
-
Let cool, slice and serve!
When shopping for ingredients, I try and stick to the 'Clean 15 and the Dirty Dozen' rule when it comes to buying organic fruits and vegetables. I have listed all ingredients simply by name, and have left off words such as "organic", "grass fed", "free-run" etc. I encourage you to do your own research and consume what works best for you.
