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. 🙂
