Enough of the loaf porn, let’s talk details.

This grain-free, refined sugar-free, dairy-free carrot cake banana bread recipe is a cinch to make. You simply blend the banana bread base in a blender, fold in the carrot cake elements (carrots, raisins, shredded coconut, you catch my drift), and send it off into the ol’ oven for some baking.

A riff off my classic Paleo Banana Bread recipe, this loaf combines the comforting element of your much-coveted banana bread with the tasty features of carrot cake. The banana bread is sweetened mostly with bananas, yielding a lower-carb naturally sweet treat perfect for breakfast, snack or dessert.

If you’re anything like me, you’ll love warming up a thick slice of this bread with some melted butter and a drizzle of almond butter and/or pure maple syrup. Each bite is super comforting, and the bread itself is very filling, making it ideal for tiding you over between meals.

Absolutely delicious just started gluten free, dairy free and first time baking this, it was a winner! I didn’t have just almond flour just had to use a sub of almond/coconut flour blend and it turned out perfect. I used the same qty as the recipe. Perfect with a cup of tea.

This is so helpful, thanks for sharing your substitution! I'm asked frequently about coconut flour substitutes so it's good to know a blend works well :) Glad you enjoy the bread! xo

I usually make your paleo banana bread which is also delicious but today I made this using flax egg (egg sensitivity). It taste like dessert and it’s quick and easy to make with ingredients I seem to always have on hand. I freeze brown bananas by taking the peel off and cutting in chunks and putting in ice cube trays. When they are frozen I remove and put in freezer safe bags. The flax eggs didn’t create any weird texture and the bread isn’t too dense. Thank you for the inspiration.
