Today I have a Nutty Banana Bread recipe for you to try. It’s a total winner. My loaf is almost gone, but boy do I have great plans for the slices I have left. I think I’m going to make some Paleo french toasts. Doesn’t that just sound super good? Sunday brunch cannot come soon enough.
The beauty of this particular recipe is that it does not have flour (of course it doesn’t, its Paleo) which makes it a gluten-free type of bread.
I’ve chosen to substitute the usual wheat flour with nuts, so that every bite can provide you with added nutrition. Delicious and nutritious…a total win-win situation.

Made this tonight. Didn’t let it cool overnight, though. Was delicious! I must admit that we did add a secret extra ingredient that is not 100% paleo , but darn close… dark chocolate cabernet sauvignon sauce topping. YUMM!!
Yum! That extra ingredient does sound amazing though! 😉
Does this recipe have actual nuts in it? I don’t see them in the ingredient list/instructions…? Or did you mean the almond flour? The bread look yummy (:
Yeah, the almond flour. 😉
Way too much extract.
I would make this again, but use only 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and omit the almond extract.
This recipe is a WINNER!!! Frantically making some now to take to an alpine ski race so that we can have a great snack on the drive. Thank you!
My pleasure! So glad you liked it, Nadine!
I just made this and am in heaven! This is sooo good!! I made the following substitutions for the ingredients I had on hand:
-butter instead of coconut oil
-coconut nectar instead of honey
-2 tsp of vanilla instead of 2 TBSP
-omitted the almond extract
-added cinnamon
Thank you for sharing your wonderful recipes! 🙂
My pleasure, Sandra! Happy you like it!
Can I use an 8″ loaf pan instead of the required 10″ bread pan? I imagine it might take longer to bake and I’ m concerned about the additional time burning the outer layer. Should I increase temp. or just try the additional time if the toothpick doesn’ t come out clean? I know the ” real” answer is to go out and BUY a 10″ pan but I do not think my bananas will last another day! Lol
Hey Lisa! Yeah, just bake it for a little longer…check every 5 additional minutes to make sure sides/bottom doesn’t burn. 🙂
I made this over the weekend & it was amazing & a clear winner with the family. Thanks for sharing your wonderful creations with us.
Thanks for the nice comment, Anita! Glad you liked it!
Thank you for this fantastic recipe! It was so easy to make and delicious! I made it this weekend. I added half a cup of walnuts (just slightly crushed) and once baked had it with homemade blueberry jam. Thanks again.
Hi! You’re welcome, it’s my pleasure! Homemade jam?! YUM!
