Banana Bread

This bread is simply amazing!  The smell, the taste, the texture, and flavor.  (According to my daughter, it's also really cute, so how 'bout that)!  You can also feel really good about eating this healthy, gluten-free cute bread. :)

INGREDIENTS:

- 1/2 cup coconut sugar

- 1/4 cup extra virgin coconut oil

- 1 egg

- 1 1/2 cups quinoa flour (I use this brand; or you can even make your own)

- 1 teaspoon baking soda

- 1 teaspoon aluminum free baking powder

- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

- 4 to 5 ripe bananas, mashed

- optional: chocolate chips, or walnuts (activated nuts are best)

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Then grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with coconut oil and sprinkle with almond meal to prevent banana bread from sticking. 

2. Mix coconut sugar, coconut oil, and egg together.  

3.  Add the quinoa flour, and mix well (it will seem clumpy and dry).

4. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well.

5. Bake for 45 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean.

6. Let cool slightly before devouring.

Enjoy!
