I’ve gotten a few requests to share my protein banana bread recipe and I couldn’t be more excited. I would have posted it sooner but I have been tweaking this recipe for a few months now. If you’re looking for a quick source of protein, meal-prep-friendly dessert recipes, and the best paleo banana bread keep reading!
I am very picky when it comes to banana bread. The consistency has to be just right. Paleo cooking, specifically dessert recipes, can be tricky. Making it hard to come by recipes I will make more than once. Most of the paleo dessert recipes I have tried are either too bland, slimy from coconut oil, or taste too much like almond flour. I decided to use my banana bread recipes and swap out the non-paleo-compliant ingredients.
After months of tweaking the recipe, I have finally made a paleo dessert that is a staple in my meal prep rotation.
Finding paleo recipes that are just as good as the real thing has become my mission. After months of trial and error in the kitchenI’ve found most of my favorite meal recipes. I’m just still working on perfecting my favorite desserts. Click here to be taken to our recipes page so you can check out the ones we have already posted!
Recipes like this banana bread have made me start to love cooking. Food plays a huge role in my journey to heal my autoimmune diseases. Although it’s just a piece of the puzzle staying on a diet that felt extremely restrictive to me at one point. Made it hard for me to even like cooking when I wasn’t always enjoying the meals I was eating. Now I know I was cooking the wrong things. From the moment I get this banana bread in the oven I am waiting to hear my timer go off! I’m not going to keep yall waiting any longer. Let’s go ahead and jump right into the recipe!
