How to make coconut flour banana bread. An easy paleo banana bread recipe, naturally sweetened with dates. This gluten free loaf is made in just minutes in a food processor! Make this easy breakfast bread the whole family will love.
I’m not kidding, this week has been so busy, I’ve actually had to schedule thinking-breathing-chill-out timeouts in my day.
It’s not even work that’s making it like a high speed roller coaster lately.
And it hasn’t even been bad stuff.
I mean, taxes and all that jazz is never the highlight of my week, but I always seem to learn something, so that’s a win.
I think just between everything going on emotionally, physically, and socially, it all adds up.
Sometimes, I think we as humans forget that all the other parts of us that make up who we are.
I don’t know about you, but most of the time, I fail to remember that other things besides work actually require just as much energy as a “normal” tasks.
Digesting emotional, mental, and spiritual things actually requires a great amount of energy to process…
As does working on a project or exercising your muscles.
So, I’ve been trying to be nice to myself and balance everything out the best I can. 🙂
Now for banana bread
Okay!
Long rant over.
Sorry, that it had nothing to do with banana bread…
Except the fact that, with all the processing I’ve been doing lately- I’m starved for some banana bread!
This batch of banana bread was a test to see if baking with dates instead of maple syrup or another sweetener would work.
Turns out, it’s pretty delicious!
This easy coconut flour paleo banana bread was a great way to kick off my morning and slathered with a spoonful of Trader Joe’s peanut butter is just divine.😍
Enjoy!
