I originally shared this Paleo Banana Bread recipe in 2013. It’s received hundreds of glowing reviews and remains one of the top three recipes on my blog…for good reason! It’s easy to prep with no mixer required, has short ingredients list, is gluten-free and Paleo-friendly and tastes delicious. I’ve made this recipe over and over again and I’m always amazed by how similar it tastes to regular banana bread.
Banana bread lends itself so well converting to Paleo Banana Bread for a few reasons.
- The bananas are already so naturally sweet that you don’t need to add much more to it.
- Banana bread is so versatile in general. I’ve gotten pretty crazy with modifications to regular banana bread in the past and it’s very forgiving.
- The bananas add so much moistness to the bread and they’re a perfect complement to the more dense almond and coconut flours.
I used this recipe from Comfy Belly as my base to create my Paleo Banana Bread recipe and modified based on multiple rounds of testing and intuition. My main changes included reducing the number of eggs to improve texture, adding some additional spices, switching coconut oil for the olive oil and a few other small things.
I loved the way this Paleo Banana Bread turned out and I am pretty confident that you could serve this to anyone – regardless of their dietary preferences or restrictions – and it would be a winner!
The recipe is easily converted to muffins. Just pour the batter into 12 muffin tins and reduce baking time to 18-22 minutes. I like to individually wrap them, throw them into a gallon bag and freeze them for an easy on-the-go breakfast.
This Paleo Banana Bread is also delicious topped with peanut butter (which is not Paleo!) or any Paleo-friendly nut or seed butter of your choice! 😉
Perfect Paleo Banana Bread

I am on a three-hour flight home from Scottsdale so it seems like the perfect time to relive and recap yesterday’s Every Woman’s Marathon experience. I had a great day and I’m very proud of the race that I ran. It was a practice in “fun running” and that not every race effort has to [...]
