Anyway, more like a cake, the banana bread you bought from the cafe this morning was probably over 50% sugar and defrosted from a freezer. Yuck!
Well no more slaps on the wrist for indulging in your next slice, because we bring to you a paleo banana bread recipe that may just become a frequent flyer on your afternoon tea menu selection.
The best thing about this recipe is that we made it with Mount Uncle’s banana flour. Banana flour? Yep, flour made out of bananas! It’s gluten free and of course has no artificial anything. To top it off, it is made right here in Australia with Australian owned and grown nanas (tick tick tick!)
This totally awesome flour can replace any plain or self-raising flour (just make sure you add two tsp of baking soda if you want the self-raising kind).
We had fun using our banana flour to give our paleo banana bread an extra nana-nutty flavour.
So give this a try and say yes to your next slice of banana bread…cake…whatever you want to call it!
Always merrymaking,
Emma + Carla
