When I made this paleo banana bread recipe, we were overrun with bananas that all decided to ripen together. Like a few pounds of them. No one in our house really likes to eat bananas just by themselves; oh no; we must have freshly baked banana bread.
Even my dad, who really doesn’t like “fruity desserts,” really enjoys a freshly baked slice of banana bread. However, my dad is allergic to egg whites. I knew that I wanted a paleo banana bread recipe that he could eat, but was also absolutely delicious.
This paleo banana bread recipe definitely fits the bill! It’s dense, moist, and banana-y. I also love that it’s only sweetened with fruit. It didn’t last very long in our house.
These banana bread slices are so delicious alone or with softened butter or nut butter. Coconut butter would be amazing too.

Can I put something instead of almond?
Hi there! Check out this post from Paleo Parents on sunflower seed flour: http://paleoparents.com/featured/nut-free-almond-flour-replacement/
these look delicious! any substitution suggestion for the banana…. maybe applesauce?
Applesauce, pumpkin, squash, zucchini or carrots (add some maple syrup)…. run wild 🙂 I would say about 1-1/2 cups of pureed or grated fruit or veggie to sub. If you use zucchini or carrots, use a little less and make up the difference with maple syrup or honey.
Hi Heather,
