Ever notice when you are feeling under the weather, its easier to slip up when it comes to your diet? Eating clean is a mind set and when you don’t feel like yourself, its definitely more difficult to stay on track. I was feeling kind of junky when I woke up this morning and I usually tell myself its just mental, but I really could feel the physical element creeping up on me. Pushing fluids and vitamins today and just taking it easy. I was in the mood to bake this for myself. I tried not to eat it all.
I really liked the way the Paleo Pumpkin Bread recipe turned out recently and wanted to make a banana bread too. I wasn’t feeling too creative so I found this recipe from Robb Wolf. Although there are many ways to make Paleo banana bread, this one is killer!
Ingredients: Makes 1 loaf or 12 muffins
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 2 tbsp flax seed
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- pinch of salt
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp honey or agave nectar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 ripe bananas mashed
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup walnut (optional)
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees
- Sift dry ingredients together
- In a separate bowl, add egg, vanilla, honey and mashed bananas and mix well (I used a mixer or a hand mixer would be great too)
- Add wet ingredients to dry and combine well
- In a greased loaf pan (or greased muffin tins) fill and bake for 30-40 minutes for a loaf or 20-23 minutes for muffins
- Great with butter or coconut oil spread on top
- Enjoy!
