RECIPE: Banana Nut Bread

Banana nut bread is one of my all-time favorites. I decided to go out on a limb and try to create some Paleo banana nut bread muffins this morning. They turned out very well! I'll definitely be making these again!

INGREDIENTS:
3 ripe bananas (peeled and mashed)
2 eggs
1 cup almond butter
1 teaspoon vanilla*
1 tablespoon honey*
1 cup almond flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
(*Please note vanilla and honey are not pictured below. I added them after tasting the batter.)

DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Using a blender, food processor or immersion blender mix all wet ingredients - eggs, bananas, almond butter, vanilla and honey.
3. In a large bowl mix dry ingredients with a spoon - almond flour, baking soda and baking powder. Stir with a spoon to mix soda and powder in with the almond flour.
4. Add dry and wet ingredients together and mix well.
5. Fold in walnuts or what ever nuts you want to use.
6. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan or into muffing cups.
(Not sure why, but the color is off in the photo. They really aren't green!)

7. Bake 35 - 40 minutes for a loaf, or 25 minutes for muffins. Be sure to monitor them close to time as not to burn or under-bake them All ovens are different. The center of the bread should be firm.
