Banana Nut Bread- Gluten Free

 Super moist, Banana Discovery Bread- Refined sugar free

       You can rarely go wrong with a good banana bread. The trouble however, comes in finding that ideal recipe. Too many times I've been disappointed with breads too plain, too sweet, too dense, too dry etc. Granted, some of that may have been due to our broken oven,  which went undiagnosed for several months while everything was being cooked at 250. However, when this came out of the oven and I tasted my first bite, I considered calling it "Discovery Bread." It was shockingly tasty.
          This is substantial enough to serve for breakfast, add some chocolate chips and it's a dessert, the best part? It requires no toppings or spreads to make it complete. It's just perfect by itself, so maybe I should call it "Independent Bread."

 Ingredients

3 cups almond flour or almond meal
1  teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

 3 large eggs
2 large ripe bananas
1/3 cup honey

1/4 cup melted butter (or coconut butter)
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Pre-heat oven to 350 F; grease a 1.5 quart loaf pan.

In a food processor or mixing bowl mix the bananas, eggs, vanilla, melted butter and honey

Mix in almond flour, salt, and baking soda.

Stir in any additional toppings. I did half with nuts, and half chocolate chips only.

Pour the batter in the prepared loaf pan and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean (depending on how you like it). Make sure you watch the top after 40 minutes because it can burn easily.

Made later in muffin form
