Since I was a little girl, I always loved eating sweets! I loved being in the kitchen, baking, helping my mom and trying out new recipes for fun, especially for the holidays! As eating paleo and whole foods wasn't a big concern when I was young, I never baked much that was considered to be paleo. But, as my consciousness to live a healthy and active lifestyle grew, I became much more concerned and aware of what I was consuming and putting in my body, and this is when I decided I wanted to start paleo eating. So, I decided that if I was going to make a paleo dessert, it had to be something I loved the most...banana bread!!
I must say, I made the most incredible paleo banana bread the other day! This banana bread has the best of everything, chocolate chips, walnuts and coconut flour to make it paleo approved! I decided to make it, because it was a gloomy, cloudy afternoon and I thought there would be no better way to brighten up my day, than by making a delightfully, but healthy sweet treat! Since I am just starting to test out paleo dessert recipes, I was eager to see how'd this banana bread would turn out! I also have to give a shout out that this recipe came from one of the most incredible food blogging recipes, called Ambitious Kitchen (minus the walnuts). This site constantly has new, healthy and paleo friendly recipes on it and its a great place to get inspiration and cooking ideas from! I definitely am OBSESSED with it and recommend checking it out!
In regards to the banana bread, it is incredibly easy to make, it only requires a handful of ingredients, no sugar and coconut flour to replace the typical white refined flour. Coconut flour is incredibly dense and much more nutritional for you. It is high in fiber, protein and is free from wheats and other grains. It is also low in calorie content and has a low glycemic index! Lastly, it helps aid in digestion and often times help maintain blood sugar level! Ok...sounds like I am using this all the now & for everything!
If you are thinking about trying out a new paleo dessert recipe, I would highly recommend this chocolate chip + walnut banana bread! I am actually OBSESSED with it and could barely stop myself from eating it all. I will definitely be making this again in the future as it turned out amazing! Again, head to the Ambitious Kitchen website to get this recipe and start making it for yourself, so you can become just as obsessed!
