For those who know me I don't spend a whole lot of time in the kitchen. This banana bread is THAT good that I wanted to share it with everyone. Yesterday was Ben's birthday and I wanted to make him a cake that we could both eat without feeling too guilty. Guilty meaning no stomach pains and bloating afterwards. This banana bread / cake is made with Almond Flour.
Here are the ingredients. I found this on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet website but used less honey, more bananas, and added spices to make it a little healthier and tastier. Here is the recipe.
3 cups of Almond Flour
1/3 cup of honey
3 eggs
2-3 very ripe bananas
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar
1/2 tsp of cinnamon and nutmeg
Smash Bananas or put in a food processor. Mix all ingredients together unti smooth. Pour in a loaf pan and bake at 350 for 50-60 minutes depending on your oven. If you pour in 3 mini loaf pans (which I did) then bake for only 40 minutes. It was moist and sweet. I loved it and have a hard time not eating so much of it. The calories are a bit higher due to the fat from the Almonds. But it's good fat and low carb! My stomach feels great. Besides, I don't count calories anyway.

You can definitely grind your own Almonds in a food processor. You can also purchase Almond Flour/ Meal at your local health food store. Some people with stomach issues need to make sure there are no skins on the Almonds so you would need to soak them over night.
I am sure chocolate chips would taste great. I would use pure dark chocolate chips though! 8-)
It is very good. It is easy enough for YOU to make as well! It's nice if you are trying to stay away from gluten and regular flours. I personally can't even tell the difference.
