Sharing a delicious and healthy recipe for Paleo banana bread! This post is updated with new pics and a refresh.

Hi friends! How are you? I hope you had an amazing weekend! We were in Phoenix for a dance competition. P has had basketball games, so the past couple of competitions have just been Liv and myself. It’s been a treat to spend some time together and in the hotel each night, we had takeout picnic and watched multiple episodes of Friends. It was lovely!

It’s back to the swing around here this week, and I wanted to share a delicious and healthy recipe with ya. This is one of my staples and I love it when we have bananas that are on their last leg. I think a lot of us went through a banana bread heyday in 2020, and I kind of overdid it. Now that I’ve stopped making it so frequently, it’s *special* again, and a lovely little treat.

Paleo Banana Bread

With its moist texture, natural sweetness, and nutty flavor, this paleo banana bread is sure to become a staple in your kitchen. Enjoy it for breakfast, as a snack, or dessert, knowing it’s made with wholesome ingredients that nourish your body.

I hope you love the recipe as much as we do!

Leaving an old pic so my Pinterest friends know they’re at the right spot!

When I originally made this, I typed out the recipe on my phone —  it was very on the fly. I thought it would be good but maybe not quite blogworthy. Totally surprised myself with this one, as gluten-free baking can be tough. It’s been a staple all this time!

This grain-free banana bread is extremely moist, decadent and made the house smell amazing. I love this recipe because it’s nutrient-dense and delicious, but also because it takes less than 20 minutes to throw together.

Once it’s ready to pull from the oven, about 40 minutes of baking time, let it cool completely on a wire rack.

It’s been a great snack, ands good crumbled onto plain yogurt with fresh fruit and a drizzle of honey. You can also add chocolate chips to the recipe, and/or smear a warm piece of the bread with peanut butter or almond butter – mmm!

Have ripe bananas on your counter? You’ve got to give this recipe a try!

Tips for Perfect Paleo Banana Bread:

Use overripe bananas for maximum sweetness and flavor.

Feel free to swap almond flour for a gluten-free baking blend.

Measure your ingredients accurately using a measuring cup or scale.

For extra sweetness, add a handful of paleo-friendly chocolate chips or chopped nuts to the batter.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days.

See ya in the morning with a new leg workout <3
