Almond Flour Banana Nut Bread

Like the background?
I would like to give a big THANK YOU to Trena H. for this recipe. 
The biggest problem you will have with these is hiding them from your family.  If you make extra, freeze a few to stash in your freezer and defrost for breakfast another time.

Almond flour is okay for Stage 1.

Almond Flour Banana Nut Bread
3 cups almond flour (I used Bob's Red Mill)
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. sea salt or kosher salt
1/2 tsp. baking powder
3 eggs
2-3 very ripe medium bananas, mashed
1/2 cup agave
1/4 cup coconut oil
1 T. vanilla extract
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Grease either a 12-cup muffin tin or a loaf pan with butter.
Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl; mix wet ingredients in a medium bowl (in the order listed). Add wet mixture to dry mixture; stir in nuts. Transfer to prepared pan.
Bake muffins for about 20-25 minutes or bake the loaf for about 35-40 minutes. Let cool in pan for about 5-10 minutes. Remove from pan and cool on wire rack.

 
So what do you think? 
I'd say 1/2 serving of fruit and 1 serving of fat per muffin. 
But I'm totally guessing here.

  1. Almond flour is a great source of protein and is a negative on the glycemic index, my 2nd favorite book after P10 is The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook by Elana Amsterdam, it is full of yummy almond flour recipe's. My favorite is the Rosemary & Kalmata Olive bread. Her blog, if you are interested is www.elanaspantry.com
