Almond Butter Banana Bread

The simplicity of perfect pairs- a freshly baked loaf of banana bread (still warm) and a good strong espresso. 

While this particular loaf was gluten free, dairy free, and paleo friendly it was not lacking in any way- dare I say it was better than any banana bread I have ever had. Rich and the perfect consistency, it will be making its way to our table more than it probably should be.


Almond Butter Banana Bread
(with chocolate)

1 c almond butter
1 c almond flour
3 ripe spotty bananas
2 eggs
1 t baking powder
1 t baking soda
1 t vanilla
Pinch of salt
A few pinches of nutmeg or cinnamon
3 T unsweetened cocoa powder (optional)


With your oven preheated at 350 F, combine all ingredients (besides cocoa powder) and mix until bananas are no longer in visible chunks. Pour batter into loaf pan and top with the cocoa powder, than swirl the cocoa powder into the top portion of the batter, just until it is incorporated.

Bake 35 to 40 minuets until the center of the bread is hard to the touch.
Let the bread cool before removing it from the pan, that is, if you can wait that long (We were unable to).
