Description
A fluffy & moist gut-healthy banana bread recipe with collagen protein for the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD). Paleo, Grain-free, Gluten-free, Refined-sugar-free, SCD-friendly.
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas, mashed
- 3 eggs
- 2 cups super-fine, blanched almond flour
- 1/4 cup unflavored collagen peptides (optional)
- 1 tbsp. pure vanilla extract
- 2 tsp. cinnamon
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. Himalayan pink salt
Toppings:
- 1/3 cup Enjoy Life mini chocolate chips
- raw pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Lightly grease a nonstick loaf tin with cooking spray (I use either coconut or avocado oil) and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all of the bread ingredients: bananas, eggs, almond flour, collagen, vanilla, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Beat with an electric hand mixer just until a smooth batter forms.
- Pour the batter into the loaf tin and sprinkle the toppings evenly over the raw dough before placing in the oven.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes. Check the bread with a toothpick to ensure it’s done. Let cool 20-30 minutes before slicing.
Notes
Adding collagen is totally optional for this recipe: simply leave it out if you don’t have it on hand.
