Is there really anything better than a slice of grilled banana bread with coffee in the morning? Well yeah… fitting into skinny jeans is perhaps a bit more preferable. A traditional banana bread holds little to zilch nutritional value. Instead it is a sugar bomb that leaves your insides wishing you reached for the box of donuts instead. But this gluten free AND dairy free version? Well it’s as close to guilt free indulgence that you’ll ever get. Plus it is absolutely DELICIOUS! 
Ingredients:
- 4 ripe bananas
- 1/2 cup coconut flour (I use Bob’s Red Mill Organic!)
- 1/3 cup smooth peanut or almond butter
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 dark chocolate bar chopped (optional)
- 1 tablespoon grade A maple syrup (optional)
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Other optional add ins (mix & match): 1/3 cup raspberries, 1/4 cup granola, 1 apple (sliced and peeled), 1/2 packet stevia, 1 tsp fresh lime juice, 2 tbs orange juice, 1/4 cup fresh cranberries, 1/3 cup blackberries, 1/4 cup pecans
I think this bread is just absolutely delightful straight from the oven, but my favorite way to enjoy it is to grill a piece in coconut oil on my cast iron skillet and serve hot. yum.

[…] Pascha Dark Chocolate Chips. Do you know what it’s like to find a dark chocolate bar not containing soy letchin? Next to impossible. Go ahead, I dare you to go into whole foods and stand before their dozens upon dozens of chocolate bars and find me one that doesn’t contain soy. I’ve basically given up hope! ….until I found Pascha. They also make bars, but I typically go for the bag of dark chocolate baking chips. I keep them in a mason jar in the fridge and have a few everyday. I also bake with them! (like in my banana bread) […]
