Recipe by Zenbelly
Dessert for breakfast anyone? One of the few sweet treats you can get away with eating for breakfast! It's just banana and bread, right?
So easy to make, and yet the results are always amazing: moist and tender crumb, perfectly sweet, and deeply satisfying. A slice is the best way to start out your morning. This banana bread is so tasty you might just find yourself ending the day with a slice too.
Ingredients
- 3 bananas (about 1 1⁄2 cups when mashed)
- 3 large eggs
- 1⁄2 cup avocado oil, plus more for greasing the pan
- 3⁄4 cup coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup Otto’s Naturals – Cassava Flour (135 grams)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons Otto's Naturals Grain-Free Baking Powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon finely ground sea salt
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare a 9x5-inch bread pan by lightly greasing it and lining with parchment paper. Lightly grease the parchment. Leave an overhang on both sides of the pan to make it easier to lift out the baked bread.
- In a large bowl, mash the bananas with a fork (the consistency can range from completely smooth to chunky, depending on your preference).
- Whisk in the eggs, avocado oil, coconut sugar and vanilla extract
- In a small bowl, whisk together cassava flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
- Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined, then pour the batter into the prepared bread pan.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until dark golden brown and baked through. Allow to cool before removing the pan and slicing.
We know we’re not the only ones who toss a few extra bananas into our cart when we're grocery shopping. Because when these nutrient-dense, naturally sweet treats start to speckle and soften, that means—you guessed it—banana bread! Rich and moist with hints of cinnamon and vanilla, this grain-free, Paleo compliant recipe—made with our premium cassava flour—is indulgent enough for dessert, but makes an irresistible breakfast on-the-go. We love toasting thick slices to serve with a drizzle of honey or slathered with butter, but this versatile recipe is ripe for creativity—try your own favorite mix-ins to share with friends (we hear chocolate chips never hurt!)
