Paleo Friendly Coffee Cake Banana Bread

Have you ever heard of PaleOMG? Well … she can pretty much convince anyone to adopt a paleo lifestyle with her delicious (and easy to make) recipes. I once spent multiple hours just scrolling through her entire archive of recipes and didn’t even regret it after. She also happens to be the queen of paleo banana bread recipes. When I came across her recipe for Paleo Coffee Cake Banana Bread, I all but ran to Whole Foods to buy almond and coconut flour. I mean, this bread combines my two favorite things and is healthy all at the same time. No-brainer.

The taste of this paleo banana bread is amazing. It has great sweet banana flavor (use those black nanners) but the cinnamon streusel on top sends it right over the edge. The difference between this paleo bread and normal banana bread is in its consistency. When I made this bread, it turned out VERY moist. Which isn’t a bad thing … just always be sure to have napkins when eating it. 🙂

I just baked this last night and loved the taste of the bread; however, I found it to be a little wet/oily, almost as if it wasn't fully cooked! Any suggestions for how to fix that for next time? Maybe I needed another 5 minutes of cooking or perhaps my coconut oil from the crumble wasn't hard enough and made it oily?

Would love your feedback. Thanks.

Hi Sara! My recommendation with paleo breads is to make sure you bake them long enough. They need to bake even longer than you would think compared to normal bread recipes. Ultimately, they will have a bit of a moist consistency that is difficult to control without adding flour. Hope this helps!

Would I have to change anything else in the recipe if I replaced the coconut flour with almond meal?

Hi Mandi! Coconut flour is more absorbent than nut flours, so I’m always careful to substitute one for the other. If you were to use a nut flour in this recipe, I’d probably increase the amount used – although I haven’t tried it yet! Hope this helps :)

This looks so good. I can't wait to give it a whirl.

I have some fresh Canadian maple syrup that will be perfect for the recipe. We look forward to trying it - thanks for sharing!
