Nutty Banana Bread
Welcome to the second day of Amazing Paleo BREADS!
Today we have a lovely banana bread recipe for you to try. It’s a total winner.
My full loaf of banana bread is almost gone, but boy do I have great plans for the slices we have left! I am planning on using my very last slices to make Paleo Banana Bread French toast! Doesn’t that just sound incredible? I think so. Sunday brunch cannot come soon enough. 
Everyone in their right mind loves some sweet banana bread, so I just thought that using almond flour and adding a touch of almond extract would be a lovely twist to this national acclaimed treat.
The beauty of this particular recipe is that it does not have flour (of course it doesn’t, its Paleo!) which makes it a gluten-free type of bread. I’ve chosen to substitute the usual wheat flour with nuts, so that every bite can provide you with added nutrition!
Delicious and nutritious…a total win-win situation. Give this recipe a try. Your family and friends will love you for it!

Made this tonight. Didn’t let it cool overnight, though. Was delicious! I must admit that we did add a secret extra ingredient that is not 100% paleo , but darn close… dark chocolate cabernet sauvignon sauce topping. YUMM!!

Does this recipe have actual nuts in it? I don’t see them in the ingredient list/instructions…? Or did you mean the almond flour? The bread look yummy (:

Way too much extract.
I would make this again, but use only 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and omit the almond extract.
