"Low carb - for banana bread, because my husband needs to feel like he's eating something decadent occasionally."

 

• Ready In: 55mins
• Ingredients: 11
• Yields: 12 slices
• Serves: 12

ingredients

• 3 medium bananas, very ripe
• 3 eggs
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• water
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 cups almond meal
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄2 cup chopped walnuts

directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Butter a loaf pan (I used the clay type).
3. If you have a 2-cup liquid measuring cup, use it, as this makes it easier to measure the wet ingredients.
4. 1. Roughly mash the bananas, and put in 2-cup measuring cup. The banana should be about a cup, but the exact measurement isn't important. The main thing is that all the wet ingredients together will total 2 cups.
5. 2. Add eggs, vanilla extract and oil to cup.
6. Add honey. Then finish filling the cup to the 2-cup line with water. (If you only have a 1-cup measuring cup, just divide it up.).
7. 3. Put almond meal, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt in bowl and stir to combine.
8. 4. Add wet ingredients, and beat for 2-3 minutes. Stir in walnuts if you are adding them.
9. 5. Pour batter into loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
10. 6. Cool for 10-15 minutes, and remove from pan. Cool completely before slicing.
